Understanding Skin Pigmentation

Pigmentation is your skin color caused by the type and amount of melanin; a pigment made of melanocytes (special skin cells). Skin damage because of sun exposure, autoimmune conditions, genes, blisters, and acne change melanin production and develop pigmentation. 

The melanin production changes may cause pigmentation issues, such as hyperpigmentation, hyperpigmentation, and depigmentation. 

Types of Skin Pigmentation

Here are the three types of pigmentation: 

Hyperpigmentation

It is a common and harmless skin condition in which patches get darker than your normal surrounding skin. The darkening occurs when extra melanin, the brown pigment, which produces normal color forms deposits in your skin. 

Hypopigmentation 

Hypopigmentation is the loss of normal skin color because of genetics, and health issues, such as skin trauma and vitiligo. Your skin may have no color throughout your body, get lighter, and develop patchy areas of darker and lighter skin. It occurs when damage affects melanocytes. When melanin production decreases in some or all body parts, you lose your normal skin color. 

Depigmentation 

Depigmentation is the loss of pigmentation or lightening of your skin tone. The pigmentation loss can be full (caused due to vitiligo) and partial injury to your skin. It can be permanent from albinism or temporary from tinea versicolor. Depigmentation is common among people with vitiligo, which creates different complexions on different body parts. 

Causes of Skin Pigmentation

Here are the most common causes of skin pigmentation:

Sun Exposure

Your body produces more melanin to protect your skin from long exposure to harmful sun rays. Prolonged sun exposure develops dark patches and spots (called age/sun spots) on your skin.

Inflammation

Some portions of your skin may get darker after it has had inflammation, which may include lupus, eczema, acne, and injuries. With a darker complexion, your skin tends to get post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. 

Hormonal Changes

Dark patches can form on your skin when your hormones change inside your body. Such types of hyperpigmentation tends to occur during pregnancy. 

Genetics

Hormones with genes control your melanin production process and affect your skin pigmentation. Your genes are capable of controlling the production of pheomelanin and eumelanin by your skin cells. They change your skin tone over time. For instance, light skin tone helps people more effectively produce vitamin D, while dark skin helps protect people from harmful UV rays. 

Drug Reactions

Certain medicines, such as tricyclic antidepressants and antimalarial drugs, may cause hyperpigmentation. The patches of your skin may turn gray in such cases. The chemicals in topical treatments may also cause hyperpigmentation sometimes. 

Medical Issues

Addison’s disease damages your adrenal glands, which may cause hyperpigmentation in body parts, such as cheek insides, lips, toes, skin folds, elbows, knees, and knuckles. Hemochromatosis may cause hyperpigmentation, which makes your skin look tanned or darker. Hyperpigmentation may also occur when iron levels in your body increase.
