Pigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is characterized by a darkening of an area of skin caused by the overproduction of pigment or melanin. It is relatively common and harmless, but for cosmetic reasons, it is a annoyance to those who have it. Either one of two things occur when hyperpigmentation results: 1.an abnormally high concentration of melanocytes produce melanin or 2. when melanocytes are hyperactive. For instance, sun exposure stimulates the production of melanin. Although it can affect anyone- regardless of their race- this condition is more prevalent among certain ethnicities such as Asian, Mediterranean, African or Latin. Hyperpigmentation can affect any part of the body including the face, hands and neck.

There are various causes of hyperpigmentation, including overexposure to the sun, aging of skin, life style including stress, depression, sleep disorder, heredity; picking at the skin; hormonal changes; certain toxins & medications and inflammation and skin injuries etc.
