SYMPTOMS OF PIGMENTATION

From sunspots to melasma, pigmentation is a skin condition in which overproduction of melanin causes brown or grey patches to develop on the skin.

Pigmentation mainly affects the face (cheeks, forehead, nose, and jawline). It is possible for age or sun spots to develop in other areas including hands, forearms, neck and chest.

Generally, pigmentation becomes more apparent in the summer months, easing in the winter, with it darkening in response to sun exposure. Age or sun spots, hyperpigmentation, melasma and other conditions of this kind are benign and do not pose a risk to health but can be quite distressing.

CAUSES OF LOSS OF PIGMENTATION

As with a number of skin conditions, pigmentation is more likely to occur in women than in men, although it is not a condition to discriminate. It affects each of the sexes and all races around the globe. That said, typically, pigmentation is more problematic for individuals with darker skin.

While it may look and feel from time to time, sun spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma are not skin infections and cannot be passed from person to person.
