Hyperpigmentation
Welcome to ExpertHomeo, where Dr. A.B. Ram Jyothis, MD (HOM), brings over 20 years of clinical experience to treat various conditions, including hyperpigmentation, through the power of homeopathy.
What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition characterized by darkened patches of skin. It occurs when there is an excess production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color.
Types of Hyperpigmentation
1. Melasma: Often called the "mask of pregnancy," this type appears as symmetrical brown or grayish patches, typically on the face.
2. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): This occurs after skin injury or inflammation, such as acne or eczema.
3. Solar lentigines: Commonly known as age spots or liver spots, these are caused by sun exposure.
4. Freckles: Small, light brown spots that often appear on sun-exposed areas.
Causes of Hyperpigmentation
- - Sun exposure
- - Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, birth control pills)
- - Skin injuries or inflammation
- - Certain medications
- - Genetic predisposition
- - Endocrine disorders
- - Vitamin deficiencies
Symptoms of Hyperpigmentation
- - Dark patches on the skin, varying in size and shape
- - Uneven skin tone
- - Patches may darken with sun exposure
