Spots make us look older than our age but these spots are not always because of age or any side effects of cosmetics, they can also be the signs of serious health problems. So, let's have a look at the problem of hyperpigmentation, a type of skin darkening that occurs in small patches and may affect some areas of the body or the entire body.

What is Hyperpigmentation?

Melanin, a pigment that is responsible for the color of our skin but excessive melanin in the skin can make your skin look darker is called Hyperpigmentation. This condition is not always harmful but can be one of the symptoms of some medical conditions.

Causes of Hyperpigmentation

Here are some of the common causes of hyperpigmentation:

Sun Exposure

Sunlight can trigger the production of melanin in the skin because melanin acts as the natural sunscreen for the skin to protect it from harmful UV rays. But excessive sun exposure can impact this process causing hyperpigmentation.

Also, sun exposure can make these spots darker, if not cured.

Hormonal Changes

Hormonal disbalance can lead to melasma or chloasma, a type of hyperpigmentation. For a woman, the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone stimulate the overproduction of melanin when skin is exposed to the sun which leads to hyperpigmentation.

Increasing Age

With the increasing age, melanin-producing cells decrease while the remaining ones increase in size which leads to an increase in age spots. This hyperpigmentation is common in people of age over 40.

Skin Injuries or Inflammation

Skin injuries or inflammation due to cuts, burns, chemical exposure, acne, and Psoriasis can leave a mark on the skin after the wound has healed.

Diseases and Medication

Some meditation like chemotherapy drugs, antibiotics, antimalarials, anti-seizure drugs or disease conditions like autoimmune diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, metabolic disorders, Addison’s disease, and vitamin deficiencies are also responsible for hyperpigmentation.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy can lead to the overproduction of melanin due to which dark skin is observed on the face, abdomen, and other areas.

Birth Control Pills

Consuming birth control pills may also lead to hyperpigmentation because the women’s body undergoes similar hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy. It can be controlled if the consumption of birth control pills is stopped.

Symptoms of Hyperpigmentation

The symptoms of hyperpigmentation can be observed as the darkened areas or spots of brown, tan, or black color that may vary in size and can develop anywhere on the body. In case you suspect any such spots on your skin, talk to a healthcare advisor to diagnose these spots.
