PIGMENTATION

Several factors can contribute to pigmentation challenges

• Sun Exposure: UV radiation stimulates melanin production, leading to tanning and, in some cases, sunspots or hyperpigmentation.
• Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, hormonal contraceptives, and hormonal fluctuations can increase melanin production, leading to melasma or chloasma.
• Inflammation: Skin inflammation acne, eczema, or psoriasis can stimulate melanocytes, leading to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
• Genetics: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to pigmentation issues, such as having a higher concentration of melanocytes or increased melanin production.
