Hyperpigmentation is a condition in which patches of skin become darker in colour than the normal surrounding skin. This darkening occurs when an excess of melanin, the brown pigment that produces normal skin color, forms deposits in the skin. It can affect people of all skin types. Some medications and certain health conditions can also lead to hyperpigmentation. According to a report by National Center for Biotechnology Information, Asian and Indians are, reported to be more susceptible to pigmentation disorders than other human groups. The prevalence of hyperpigmentation among Indian Women is 50% with moderate to severe dark circles on the upper eyelid and increases with age. It’s important to be aware about the causes, symptoms and treatment of hyperpigmentation.
