Melanin is a brown color pigment responsible for providing color to the skin, nails, hair, and the iris of the eyeball. The melanin pigment is produced by the melanocyte cells. Most humans have the same number of melanocyte cells, and the change in the human color shade is due to the amount of melanin produced by these melanocytes.

Pigmentation can be triggered by the unwanted consequence of internal physical factors and/or external factors, and the pigmentation areas on the skin are presented as uneven skin tone, freckles, melasma, age spots, etc.
The melanocyte produces the following color type of melanin
- Pheomelanin- It imparts a reddish hue type color.
- Eumelanin- It imparts a brown and black type of color.
Causes of Pigmentation
Factors like UV radiation( by sunlight or other light sources) stimulate excess melanin production and cause pigmentation. Other factors can also impair melanin production, such as stress, hormonal imbalance, sleep disorders, the side effect of chronic diseases or medications, pregnancy, injury, acne breakouts, burns, and cause dark pigmented patches of the skin.
Types of pigmentation
Pigmentation problems can occur when there is excess production of melanin (hyperpigmentation) or lesser production of melanin (hypopigmentation). Most commonly people experience one or other form of hyperpigmentation i.e. skin darkening or dark spots. The following are different types of hyperpigmentation:
1. Melasma
Melasma or chloasma is a type of acquired hyperpigmentation. The condition is most common in young to middle-aged females and adult men as well and also common in dark skin tone people. The condition is characterised by brown macules that mostly affect the areas near the eyes, and malar (cheek) area , upper lip, nose or forehead area. Factors like genetics, hormonal changes, and excessive exposure to UV radiation can trigger melasma. Other risk factors that cause melasma are:
- Ultraviolet (UV) exposure.
- Pregnancy-hormonal imbalance.
- Family history of melasma
- Phototoxic medications.
- Use of harsh cosmetics.
- Thyroid disorders.
- Oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy.
2. Liver spots/Age spots/Solar lentigines
Age spots are the most common type of hyperpigmentation and are mostly caused by sun damage with age. They mostly appear on the face, hands, and shoulders. They can vary in color from brown to grey, and they can be very small or very large and can appear in group or clusters. People who have light skin tone are more prone to get age spots.
3. Freckles
They are a type of small brown spots and can appear anywhere on the face and body. Millions of people worldwide have freckle, they also have the tendency to develop other pigmentary disorders and the prevalence of freckles is also directly corresponding with sun exposure.
4. Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
This is the type of pigmentation that is formed when the skin has been damaged or has undergone some form of trauma or infection or inflammation. As the skin heals itself it may leave dark brown spots on the skin.
5. Birthmarks
These pigmentation marks are present at birth and are caused by clusters of pigmented cells. Sometimes these are difficult to treat pigmentation,may decrease even without treatment, and sometimes they change over time. They can be present anywhere in the body.
