Pigmentation
The change in the color of the skin is a condition called pigmentation. Pigmentation mostly darkens the color of the skin.
Melanin, a pigment in the cells, is responsible for the color of the skin. In a condition called hyperpigmentation, the color of your skin may darken. This may occur due to age or other reasons. Dark spots may be visible on your face or the whole of your body. This is a cosmetically severe condition.
Our Treatment
One of the major reasons for pigmentation is sunlight and it usually affects the most exposed and naked parts of the body. It may also be caused due to pregnancy hormones, skin irritation, or other reasons. Primary level hyperpigmentation can be treated with home remedies by applying aloe vera, black tea, apple cider vinegar, or masoor dal.
If home remedies fail to respond, it involves a medical condition. At a clinical level, hyperpigmentation can be treated with a chemical peel, intense pulsed light, or laser treatment. You must speak to our doctor if you are suffering from skin pigmentation or doubt that your pigmentation is caused due to any medical condition.
