#Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition characterized by the darkening of skin patches due to an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. This can result from various factors, including sun exposure, inflammation (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), hormonal changes (melasma), or certain medications. The dark spots can range in size and color and often appear on sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, and décolletage. Management typically involves sun protection and topical treatments to lighten the affected areas.
