Hyperpigmentation is when your skin or large portions of it turns an unusual shade that contrasts with your normal skin tone. This is also known as skin discoloration.
What causes hyperpigmentation?
Skin color is influenced by the amount of pigment or melanin that is produced by the skin. Natural pigmentation is nature's way of protecting itself from ultraviolet light and thus most discoloration is in some way associated with sun exposure. However, sun exposure is not the sole cause of discoloration. Some rashes, acne spots, injury medication, hormones and genetics my also contribute to hyperpigmentation.
