Pigmentation is a common skin concern that affects people of all skin types and can affect the skin at any age.

What is Pigmentation?
Pigmentation refers to the discolouration of the skin. Our skin colour is determined by melanin production. Certain factors lead to overproduction whereas some reduce production. The uneven production or distribution of melanin can cause discolouration or uneven skin tone resulting in darker patches on the skin.

Pigmentation Causes:
Understanding the causes of pigmentation can help us prevent it effectively:
-
Sun Exposure - The most common cause of pigmentation is excessive sun exposure. UV rays stimulate the production of melanin which can lead to age spots, dark patches and dullness on the skin.
-
Hormonal Changes - Hormonal changes are another one of the major reasons that lead to pigmentation. Pregnancy, birth control pills, and other medications can lead to melasma, a type of pigmentation that appears as dark patches on the skin.
-
Inflammations - Any skin injury, inflammation, eczema, acne or any other skin treatments can also cause post-effect hyperpigmentation, where the affected area turns dark as it heals.
-
Aging - As we age the distribution of melanocytes becomes less regular leading to the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone.
- Genetic Factors - Some people are genetically predisposed to pigmentation issues, which may require targeted treatments and consistent care.
Prevention of Pigmentation
Here are some tips to help prevent and manage pigmentation effectively:
-
Sun Protection - Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day and reapply it every two hours if prolonged sun exposure, even on cloudy days. Wearing hats and sunglasses will also help give sun protection.
-
Avoid Picking at Skin - Avoid picking at acne or other skin conditions as this can lead to inflammation and can worsen the condition.
-
Use Targeted Skin Products - Incorporate products specifically designed to manage pigmentation into your skincare routine. Look for natural ingredients.
- Healthy Lifestyle Choices - A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals can help maintain healthy skin and prevent pigmentation.
Types of Pigmentation
Pigmentations appear in various forms:
-
Hyperpigmentation - This is the most common type, where certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin due to excess melanin production. It includes sun spots, age spots and dark patches.
-
Melasma - This is often referred to as “the mark of pregnancy” Melasma appears as brown or grayish-brown patches on the face. It’s mainly caused by hormonal changes and sun exposure.
-
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation - Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation occurs after an injury or inflammation, like a cut, burn, or acne. The affected area darkens as it heals, which can last for several months or even years without proper treatment.
- Hypopigmentation - Unlike hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation occurs when the skin produces less melanin, leading to lighter patches.
