Hyperpigmentation is a very common condition that is characterized by dark spots or patches of skin that result from increased melanin production, the pigment that provides color to skin. These spots go by several different names including age spots, sunspots, liver spots, solar lentigines or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), depending on the cause. Hyperpigmentation can manifest in several forms with the most common being melasma, sunspots and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Melasma presents as irregular patches of brown or gray areas of skin that are most commonly exposed to the sun – such as the face, neck and arms.
