Skin Disorders and Pigmentation

Skin pigmentation is commonly known as skin discoloration often results of sun exposure (UV rays), genetics, hormonal changes, pregnancy, and medications such as birth control pills, aging skin or the wrong use of skin care products. Skin gets its color from a pigment called melanin, which is made up of special cells in the skin called melanocytes. When these cells get damaged or become unhealthy, it affects the production of melanin, which causes skin pigmentation. Excess production of melanin leads to hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation causes the skin to darken; it can occur in small patches, cover large areas and affect the whole body.
