Skin Pigmentation

The way you look influences so many aspects of day-to-day life. When skin pigmentation disorders cause the skin to appear lighter or darker in areas, it can leave you uncomfortable. Clear, even skin tones can lead to a healthier and fresher face forward, with the outward confidence to take on the world.

What is Pigmentation in Skin?

Pigmentation is responsible for the color of your skin. Individual pigment-producing cells, called melanocytes, determine how light or dark your skin is. Sometimes, skin pigmentation disorders can cause parts of the skin to appear lighter or darker than the surrounding areas. Usually, abnormal levels of melanin, fueled by melanocyte production, cause skin abnormalities.  

When the skin has skin patches darker than the rest of the skin, it is called hyperpigmentation. When areas of the skin appear lighter than the surrounding skin, it is called hypopigmentation.  

Causes of Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation occurs when the body produces too many melanocytes, creating dark patches of skin. These patches can be unsightly and cause the skin to appear patchy. There are several causes of skin hyperpigmentation, including:

Types of Pigmentation

Skin pigmentation can manifest in many forms within the body. Each type of pigmentation looks slightly different, caused by various internal or external factors. While fairly common, people often feel self-conscious about areas of hyperpigmentation.  

Melasma

Located deeper in the skin's dermis, melasma appears as big brown areas. Unlike solar lentigines, melasma do not have a defined border. A definitive cause is unknown, but some suspect hormonal changes can cause melasma to form. Usually, stress and increased sun exposure can make melasma appear more prominent and darker.

Solar Lentigines

Sometimes called sun spots, solar lentigines can range in color from light brown to almost black. These pigmentation areas tend to have very well-defined edges. UV light and sun exposure can cause solar lentigines, which can sometimes become dangerous. Monitor solar lentigines carefully because they could potentially turn into skin cancer.  

Freckles

Ephelides, more commonly named freckles, are extremely common. Freckles are more likely to appear on people with a fair complexion. Caused by exposure to sunlight, many people find that freckles appear darker during the summer and lighter in the winter.  

Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

This type of skin pigmentation is usually the result of direct trauma to the skin. Things like burns, acne, or severe clinical treatments can cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Typically, this type of hyperpigmentation will improve and resolve itself over time.
