Hyperpigmentation is an abnormally high production of melanin, or the pigment that gives skin its color. Commonly found on the face, hands and other areas of the body that are commonly exposed to the sun, it can be caused by a variety of factors, such as long-term sun exposure, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, hormonal changes, or a reaction to certain medications. Hyperpigmentation is classified into two main categories: localized and generalized. Localized hyperpigmentation is limited to a specific area or areas of the body, while generalized hyperpigmentation affects the entire body. Treatment of hyperpigmentation depends on the cause and severity. For localized hyperpigmentation, a variety of medications can be prescribed, including topical creams that contain hydroquinone, retinoids, and/or corticosteroids. If the pigmentation is caused by inflammation or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sunscreen or topical retinoids may help to reduce or eliminate the spots. In more severe cases of hyperpigmentation, or when standard treatments do not provide adequate results, more aggressive methods such as laser therapy, dermabrasion, or chemical peels may be used. Laser treatments can help to lighten the skin and even out pigmentation, by targeting the melanin-producing cells. Dermabrasion is a technique that uses a brush or a machine to exfoliate and smooth the surface of the skin, while chemical peels remove the top layers of skin to reveal a more even complexion. No matter the treatment, it’s important to protect the skin from further damage and discoloration by using a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and by avoiding direct sun exposure. For best results, seeking advice from a dermatologist can help determine the best treatment plan for your particular condition.
