4. What is hyperpigmentation ? Hyperpigmentation is the aggravated version of pigmented lesions. Our skin’s tone is maintained by the melanocyte cells that produce the melanin evenly across the skin. Hence, if these melanocytes become hyperactive and produce more melanin, the skin tone becomes dark, and the readily dark spots and patches become even darker. Most of these pigmented lesions are harmless and benign. However, some rare skin lesions can be a cause of cancerous development in the skin. The regions where it may affect depends mostly on the underlying causes.

5. What Causes Hyperpigmentation? Though nearly all of us have some type of pigmented lesions like birthmarks, age spots, freckles, etc. some develop severe pigmentations due to secondary causes, such as: • Consistent sun exposure over specific regions • Skin inflammation caused by acne and scars • As a side effect of other skin conditions like melasma or rosacea • As a side effect of specific drugs like antidepressants, birth control pills, or hormone medications • Other health conditions like hemochromatosis or Addison’s disease
