Overview

Hyperpigmentation is when the skin becomes darker but the surrounding skin remains normal. This is due to excessive sun (UV rays) and can also be caused by acne, burns, friction, aggressive cosmetic treatments not carried out correctly and medication.

Causes of Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is common, and usually harmless where patches of skin become darker in colour than the normal skin. This occurs when an excess of melanin, the brown pigment that produces normal skin colour, forms deposits in the skin. The main causes are:

  • Skin trauma / injury due to incorrect beauty procedures being carried out
  • Friction (knees, elbows, knuckles, neck folds)
  • Acne scars
  • Picking of skin
  • Mosquito bites
  • Sores
  • Certain medications
