The appearance of dark spots and dis colouration could be caused due to sun exposure (UV rays), hormonal changes, pregnancy, skin aging, smooth and even skin tone is gradually been replaced by brown spots and uneven patches. Hyperpigmentation is an excess of color-producing skin cells which create an uneven or a patchy skin tone. It’s also technically harmless and quite easily treatable.
The commonly encountered pigmentation problems are:
- Melasma – Brown, flat patches over the cheeks, forehead and upper lips on both sides.
- Freckles – Tiny, pin-head sized tan or brown flat spots over face caused by clustering of concentrated melanin
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation – Develops on the face, neck or chest secondary to inflammatory dermatoses such as acne, atopic dermatitis, bug bite or psoriasis
- Hyperpigmentation in pregnancy – Seen in axilla, areola and lower abdomen in midline
- Cosmeceutical induced pigmentation – Diffuse pigmentation over face due to allergic reactions to cosmetic products
