What is Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition where certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin. This darkening occurs due to an excess production of melanin, the natural pigment responsible for giving skin, hair, and eyes their color.

Key Characteristics of Hyperpigmentation:

Appearance:
Dark patches or spots that can vary in size and shape.
Commonly occurs in areas exposed to the sun, or from medication, hormonal, injury, inflammation or irritation of the skin due to the use of harsh products and damage to the upper layers of the skin. Commonly affected areas being the face, neck, lips, underarms, back, genitals, knees, feet, toes and buttocks.

Types of Hyperpigmentation:
Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH):

• Dark spots that form after an injury or inflammation, like acne or eczema.

Melasma:

• Often triggered by hormonal changes, appearing as large, dark, irregular patches, especially on the face.

Sunspots (Solar Lentigines):

• Flat, dark spots caused by sun exposure, often seen on older individuals.

Freckles:

• Small, concentrated spots of pigmentation that can darken with sun exposure (genetically linked).

Causes of Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation occurs when patches of skin become darker than the surrounding areas. This is caused by an overproduction of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. Various factors can trigger this overproduction, including:

1. Sun Exposure
UV Radiation: Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays stimulates melanin production as a defence mechanism to protect the skin. This can lead to sunspots, also known as solar lentigines or age spots.

2. Inflammation and Skin Injuries
Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Any skin injury or inflammation, such as cuts, burns, acne, or eczema, can leave darkened marks as the skin heals. This is more common in people with darker skin tones.

3. Hormonal Changes
Melasma: Hormonal fluctuations, especially during pregnancy or from birth control pills, can trigger melasma, characterized by brown or grayish patches on the face and other areas exposed to the sun.

4. Medications
Certain drugs, like chemotherapy agents, antimalarials, and some antibiotics, can cause hyperpigmentation as a side effect.

5. Medical Conditions
Endocrine Disorders: Conditions like Addison’s disease (adrenal insufficiency) can cause increased melanin production.

Hemochromatosis: An iron overload disorder that can cause a bronzed appearance to the skin.

6. Genetics
Some individuals are genetically predisposed to conditions like freckles or hyperpigmentation disorders.

7. Aging
Age Spots: As skin ages, its ability to repair itself declines, and cumulative sun damage can lead to persistent dark spots.

8. Cosmetic Products
Use of certain cosmetics or skincare products, especially if they irritate the skin or cause photosensitivity, can lead to pigmentation changes.

9. Environmental Factors
Pollution: Exposure to environmental pollutants can lead to oxidative stress and inflammation, contributing to hyperpigmentation.

10. Other Triggers
Friction: Repeated friction or pressure on the skin, such as from tight clothing or chronic rubbing, can lead to localized darkening.

Smoking: Can cause pigmentation changes due to reduced oxygenation and increased oxidative stress in the skin.
