Hyperpigmentation

What is hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is an increase in melanin production that causes areas of the skin to become darker than the surrounding skin. It may develop due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, acne, skin injuries, or other factors.

What specialist do I need for hyperpigmentation?

The appropriate specialist is a dermatologist, who can identify the cause of hyperpigmentation and determine the most suitable treatment. Depending on the case, treatment may include skin-lightening products, chemical peels, laser treatments, or other dermatological procedures.

When should I see a specialist for hyperpigmentation?

A medical evaluation is recommended when new dark spots appear, pigmentation becomes more noticeable or persistent, or spots do not improve with usual skin care. Identifying the underlying cause is important for choosing the appropriate treatment.
