What Causes Hyperpigmentation on Your Skin?
Pigmentation may be caused by:
- Genetic – you might inherit the skin condition through your parents. If they have it, you might have higher chance to get it too
- Sun Exposure – Without using sunscreen as protection, it will increase melanin production and hyperpigmentation will occur
- Hormonal Influence – it is common among pregnant moms due to high Estrogen level
- Inflammation – post inflammatory hyperpigmentation is common
- Cosmetic effects – ingredients like Mercury or Hydroquinone can damage the skin and cause hyperpigmentation. That is why, it's very important for you to know what your skincare contains and the verification of the product from Health Ministration.
