5 Causes of Skin Pigmentation Problems

Skin pigmentation problems occur when the skin produces too much or too little melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color.Here are 5 common causes of skin pigmentation problems:

1. Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to UV rays triggers the production of melanin, leading to dark spots and uneven skin tone.
2. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal imbalances, often due to pregnancy, birth control, or menopause, can cause melasma, leading to dark patches on the skin.
3. Skin Inflammation: Conditions like acne, eczema, or injury can result in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), leaving dark marks after the skin heals.
4. Aging: As skin ages, the production of melanin becomes uneven, resulting in age spots or liver spots, especially in sun-exposed areas.
5. Genetics: Some pigmentation disorders, such as freckles or vitiligo, can be inherited, making individuals more prone to uneven pigmentation.
