Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition where certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin due to excess melanin production. Causes of hyperpigmentation include sun exposure, hormonal changes like melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne or injuries. Treatments for hyperpigmentation focus on lightening dark spots and preventing further pigmentation and include topical creams, chemical peels, laser therapy, and rigorous sun protection. Achieving an even skin tone requires consistent treatment and sun avoidance.
