Dark Spots / Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a prevalent skin condition marked by the appearance of dark patches or spots. This occurs when an overproduction of melanin, the pigment that gives the skin its color, accumulates in specific areas. While generally harmless, hyperpigmentation can be a cosmetic concern for many people, affecting self-esteem and confidence. Symptoms to look out for include the following:

• Dark spots, often referred to as age spots or sun spots, are flat, darkened areas that can appear on any area of the body exposed to the sun. 
• Melasma, characterized by larger patches of darkened skin, is usually found on the face; it is more common in women, particularly during pregnancy.
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) comprises dark spots that appear after injury or inflammation of the skin, such as acne or eczema.
