What Is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is a frequent skin concern marked by areas of darkened skin resulting from increased melanin production. It can affect individuals of all skin tones and commonly appears on the face, hands, and other areas frequently exposed to the sun. Triggers include sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations (such as in melasma), inflammation, and previous skin injuries.

Although generally not harmful, hyperpigmentation can impact self-confidence and may require professional treatment to fade existing discoloration and help prevent it from worsening. With the right approach, skin tone can become more even and radiant over time.

Signs & Symptoms of Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation typically appears as darkened areas or inconsistent skin tone. Common signs include:

  • Dark Patches or Spots: Varying in size, these are often the result of sun exposure or natural aging.
  • Blotchy or Uneven Tone: Irregular pigmentation that affects the overall uniformity of the skin.
  • Melasma: Dark, symmetrical patches commonly found on the forehead, cheeks, or upper lip, often linked to hormonal changes.
  • Post-Inflammatory Marks: Dark spots that remain after acne, injury, or skin irritation has healed.

Early identification and targeted treatment can help reduce pigmentation and restore a more even complexion.
