Discover everything about hyperpigmentation: Causes, treatments, and advice for radiant skin

Hyperpigmentation, also known as pigment spots, are common skin problems that primarily affect women. This brown discoloration of the skin is caused by an abnormal increase in melanin content, the pigment that determines skin color.

It absorbs UV rays and protects the skin, but when these pigments stagnate in the epidermis, spots appear. Causes include unprotected sun exposure, skin aging, hormonal changes such as pregnancy, skin injuries, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) resulting from wounds or scars, such as with acne.

What does hyperpigmentation look like?

Hyperpigmentation can vary in size, shape, and color, from small freckle-like spots to larger patches or clusters of spots, with colors ranging from light brown to dark brown or grayish. Many people find these spots bothersome, especially when they strive for an even skin tone.
