Hyperpigmentation is when patches of skin become darker than your natural tone due to excess melanin production.
Hyperpigmentation can affect anyone, but certain groups are more prone:
People with medium to dark skin tones: More melanin means more potential for pigment irregularities.
Women: Especially during pregnancy or while using hormonal birth control (melasma).
Those with acne, eczema, or skin injuries: Inflammation often leaves behind dark marks.
Sun lovers: UV exposure is a major trigger.
Genetically predisposed individuals: Family history plays a role.
