What is hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is an increase in the skin's normal pigmentation in a particular area. There are many different skin colours, but it does not refer to any specific colour. Hyperpigmentation is simply more colour than you normally have in a particular area and can be caused as a result of exposure to harmful UVA and UVB rays, acne scarring, age spots and hormonal changes.
