Understanding the Problem
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin issue where patches of skin become darker than the surrounding area. It is caused by:
- Sun exposure: UV rays trigger melanin production, leading to dark spots.
- Hormonal changes: Conditions like melasma, often linked to pregnancy or birth control.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: Dark spots resulting from acne or skin injury.
Challenges of Treatment
Hyperpigmentation can be stubborn, requiring a combination of professional treatments and consistent at-home care.
