What is Skin Pigmentation?
Your skin's pigment refers to its natural colouring, which is determined by melanin. This pigment produces cells called melanocytes, which play an essential role in melanin production. This determines your skin colour, among hair and eyes.
However, skin pigmentation is when melanin production becomes irregular or excessive. This means that certain parts of the body become more dark than others. This appears in the form of dark patches, or sun spots. In rare cases, the skin can become white as it loses its pigment.
Treating Skin Pigmentation
Why is there Skin Pigmentation On My Skin?
There are many reasons behind excess pigmentation happening. This condition can affect any skin tone and type. However, the cause is unique to the individual, which is why you can't take a one size fits all approach to skin. However, there are some common contributing factors to consider.
See how below:
- Sun exposure: The sun is the main cause of pigment like an uneven skin tone, and sun spots. As the excessive sun exposure leads to sun spots on the face, or other body parts.
- Hormonal Fluctuations: Changes in hormones, like pregnancy or taking contraceptives can trigger hormones. This is because both trigger the production of melasma.
- Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: From a former skin injury, acne to eczema, there are many reasons behind this condition. Once done, this leaves brown spots.
- ageing skin: The photoageing process allows for the skin to overproduce on melanin. Which then leads to physical signs, like sun spots or patches.
- Skin Pigmentation Disorders: Some conditions lead to excessive pigmentation, or skin lightness. This will cause either a darkening or lightening effect. Some disorders include vitiligo and albinism.
What are the Different Kinds of Skin Pigmentation?
Have you spotted skin pigment, but aren't sure how to identify it? From contemplating a melasma to sun spot removal, it can be hard to know the difference. However, it's important to note that this varies based on the cause of the pigment.
See how below:
When bluish grey, or brown patches appear on the skin. The size of these patches are very broad on the skin's surface area. They also usually appear as a light, grey or a dark brown colour.
As implied by its name, this is when very pigmented spots appear on the skin. It arises from excess sun exposure, and resembles a skin coloured appearance with a scaly feel.
When the skin has become inflamed, or had any injury, these pigments appear. Providing some added darkening to the skin, from tan to black colours.
This is a well known skin pigmentation, as it leaves tiny spots on the skin. This ranges from the face to the arms, and the freckles are typically brown or tan.
*If you're concerned about your hyperpigmentation, we advise that you consult with your medical practitioner.
