What Skin Pigmentation?
Skin pigmentation refers to the natural color of your skin, which is determined by a pigment called melanin. Melanin is produced by specialized cells called melanocytes. When these cells produce too much or too little melanin, it results in changes in skin color, commonly known as pigmentation disorders. It can appear as spots, patches or uneven skin tone and may be caused by a variety of internal and external factors.
Commonly seen as
Uneven Skin Tone
General dullness or patches that make the complexion look uneven.
Dark Spots
Small, localized spots caused by sun exposure, acne, or aging.
Melasma
Brown or grayish patches, commonly seen on the face due to hormonal changes.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
Dark marks left behind after acne, injuries or irritation.

Cause
How it contributes
Sun Exposure
Ultraviolet (UV) rays stimulate melanin production, leading to sun spots, tanning, and uneven skin tone over time.
Hormonal Changes
Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, while taking oral contraceptives, or due to hormonal disorders can trigger melasma and facial pigmentation.
Acne & Skin Inflammation
Pimples, eczema, injuries, burns, or cosmetic procedures can leave behind dark marks known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
Genetics
Some individuals are genetically predisposed to conditions such as freckles, melasma, or uneven pigmentation.
Aging
As skin ages, years of sun exposure and natural changes in melanin production can result in age spots and uneven pigmentation.
Medications & Medical Conditions
Certain medications, hormonal disorders, thyroid conditions, and other medical issues can contribute to changes in skin pigmentation.
Friction & Irritation
Repeated rubbing, harsh skincare products, or frequent irritation can stimulate excess pigment production in susceptible skin.
Environmental Factors
Pollution, heat exposure, and oxidative stress can worsen existing pigmentation and contribute to an uneven complexion.
