Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition where certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin due to an excess production of melanin, the pigment responsible for color. This often appears as dark spots, patches, or uneven skin tone. It can result from factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes, aging, inflammation, or skin injuries. While it is usually harmless, hyperpigmentation can be a cosmetic concern. Treatments may include topical creams, sun protection, and procedures like laser therapy, depending on the cause and severity.
