Pigmentation
What is skin pigmentation?
Skin pigmentation refers to the color of your skin. It's determined by the amount and type of melanin, a pigment made by specialized skin cells known as melanocytes. Changes in melanin production can cause pigment disorders, such as hyperpigmentation (dark spots), hypopigmentation (light spots), depigmentation (white spots or patches). Skin damage from acne, blisters, cuts, sun exposure, genetic factors, and autoimmune conditions are all possible causes for changes in melanin and, thus, skin pigmentation.

Melasma is common in women, especially those who are pregnant or with a hormonal imbalance. It can affect all skin types but is more common in darker skin types.
PIH
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation is a type of hyper pigment that occurs following inflammation or an injury to the skin and common after acne and trauma.
Freckles
Freckles are small spots can appear in a variety of colors such as brown, tan, red, black or even yellow. If you're lighter-skinned and blond, red hair, you are more likely to have freckles.
Sunspots/Age spots
Age spots are small, flat dark areas on the skin. They vary in size and usually appear on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, shoulders and arms.
