What Is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain areas of the skin become darker due to excess melanin production. It can present as:

Dark patches or spots

Uneven skin tone

Brown or grayish facial patches (melasma)

Common causes include:

  • Sun exposure – UV rays stimulate melanin production.
  • Hormonal changes – Pregnancy, birth control, and menopause can trigger melasma.
  • Skin injuries – Acne, cuts, and burns can leave lingering discoloration.
