What is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation refers to the natural coloring of the skin caused by melanin, a pigment produced by cells called melanocytes. While pigmentation is normal, issues can arise when melanin production becomes uneven, leading to dark spots, patches, or uneven skin tone. These conditions, often categorized as hyperpigmentation, can occur due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, aging, or certain skin injuries.
Common types of pigmentation include:
- Melasma: Often caused by hormonal changes, such as pregnancy or birth control, appearing as brown or grayish patches.
- Sunspots (Solar Lentigines): Caused by prolonged sun exposure, usually found on areas like the face, hands, and arms.
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Results from skin trauma, acne, or irritation.
Causes of Pigmentation
- Sun Exposure: UV rays trigger melanin production, leading to dark spots and uneven skin tone.
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, or hormonal therapies can cause melasma.
- Skin Damage: Inflammation, acne, or injuries can lead to PIH.
- Genetics: Some individuals are more prone to pigmentation due to their genetic makeup.
- Aging: Over time, sun exposure and skin aging result in pigmentation irregularities.
