What is Pigmentation
Â
The term “Pigmentation” describes the coloration of the skin caused by the presence of melanin, a pigment made by melanocytes, which are skin cells. Skin is colored by natural pigmentation, but too much melanin production can cause discoloration, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. Skin inflammation, hormone fluctuations, heredity, and sun exposure can all lead to pigmentation issues
Â
To what extent does pigmentation occur naturally?
Â
Age, sun exposure, and hormone changes are some of the typical and natural causes of pigmentation variations. Some pigmentations may not go away with time, while others might. Although many people find excessive pigmentation to be a cosmetic concern, it is a natural skin response to internal and external stimuli.
Melasma typically manifests as dark brown or grayish patches on the nose, upper lip, forehead, and cheeks. Hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy, birth control pills, and sun exposure are common causes. Women and those with darker skin tones are more likely to have this condition. Targeted treatments and sun protection aid in melasma management.
The development of black patches following skin inflammation or injury, such as acne, burns, or cuts, is known as PIH. As the skin heals, too much melanin is produced, which causes it. Darker skin tones are more likely to have PIH, which might take months to go away. Brightening agents, laser therapy, and chemical peels are some treatments that speed up the process.
Solar Lentigines, or sunspots
Long-term exposure to the sun causes sunspots, often known as liver spots or age spots. On parts of the face, hands, and shoulders that are regularly exposed to the sun, they manifest as tiny, dark brown spots. Laser therapy and skin-brightening treatments can be used to address these spots, which are more common in older persons.
Freckles are tiny, pale brown spots that appear as a result of genetic predisposition and sun exposure. They tend to darken with UV exposure and are more prevalent in those with pale skin. Although freckles are not harmful, some people choose to lighten their look with chemical peels or laser treatments.
