What is skin pigmentation?

In hyperpigmentation,  the skin color becomes darker than the normal skin. These dark spots occur because of the excess amount of melanin.

During pregnancy, it also can happen due to overproduction of melanin that causes marks of pregnancy on the face, abdomen and other areas. If the women take birth control pills, some of them experienced the hyperpigmentation. If the hyperpigmentation occurs due to birth control pills then it should be stopped.  Other causes of hyperpigmentation are injuries to the skin including some surgeries. Freckles are one type of inherited characteristics. They are small brown spots which can appear anywhere in the body but mainly occurs in arm and face.

Freckles, age spots, and dark spots   can become darker when the skin is exposed to the sun. What happens is that melanin absorbs the harmful sunrays which result in tanning, causing the dark spots which can be called hyperpigmentation. So using the sun’s cream is a must.
