Hyperpigmentation of the skin is a condition in which there is an increase in the production or deposit of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. This results in dark, irregular or brownish patches that can appear in various areas of the body.
There are several types of hyperpigmentation, such as melasma, sunspots, freckles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, among others.
Several factors may be at the origin of skin hyperpigmentation, including sun exposure, skin injuries and inflammation, aging, hormonal changes, side effects of medications, among others.
