Hyperpigmentation
Pigmentation refers to the coloration of our skin, which is determined by the quantity of melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) present. Melanocytes produce melanin, and when this production becomes excessive or irregular, it can lead to areas of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
Hyperpigmentation occurs when there is an overproduction and accumulation of melanin, resulting in darker patches compared to the surrounding skin. Conversely, hypopigmentation is characterized by a loss of melanin, leading to lighter patches on the skin.
Hyperpigmentation results from an overproduction of melanin and can arise from various factors. Identifying the specific cause of hyperpigmentation is essential for effective treatment.
Common contributors include:
- Ageing
- Skin trauma
- UV radiation exposure
- Medications and medical conditions
- Hormonal changes
- Genetic predisposition
