Understanding Pigmentation
Pigmentation, such as dark spots, melasma, and uneven skin tone, can be caused by various factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, and inflammation. These conditions can affect anyone and often lead to an uneven complexion.
Causes and Symptoms
Pigmentation problems arise when the skin produces too much melanin, leading to dark patches. Common causes include sun damage, hormonal changes, and skin injuries.
Types of Pigmentation
Pigmentation issues can vary, each requiring specific treatments. Here are the main types:
Melasma: Dark, irregular patches usually caused by hormonal changes and sun exposure.
Freckles: Small, brown spots commonly found on sun-exposed areas.
Sun Spots: Dark spots resulting from prolonged sun exposure.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation : Darkened areas left after an injury or inflammation, such as acne.
Age Spots: Flat, brown, gray, or black spots that appear with aging and sun exposure.
