Skin pigmentation refers to the color of the skin as a result of melanin.<\/p>\n<p>Pigmentation can also be a negative occurrence. Melanin is responsible for our skin color.<\/p>\n<p>At times, mainly due to exposure to the sun, a lot of melanin is produced in the skin. This leads to a darkening of the skin, usually around a particular region like the face, arms, and shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>Other factors that may lead to an overproduction of melanin include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aocd.org\/page\/Hyperpigmentation\">hormones<\/a>. Expecting women have reported seeing dark blotches or spots on their neck and face.<\/p>\n<p>Pigmentation is closely related to hyperpigmentation, which is simply an unusual increase in melanin production.<\/p>\n<p>With hyperpigmentation, the spots and blemishes become darker and turn to grayish-black or tan.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Causes\">Skin Pigmentation Causes and Symptoms<\/h2>\n<p>The major cause of pigmentation is prolonged and unprotected exposure to the sun.<\/p>\n<p>When the skin is exposed to the sun, its natural response is to produce more melanin, to protect the body from the harmful effect of ultraviolet rays from the sun.<\/p>\n<p>This is the idea behind tanning. However, the skin spreads the melanin unevenly on the skin, thus resulting in skin pigmentation or discoloration in some areas.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned above, hormones may also play a role in skin pigmentation. This is especially so in pregnant women who experience a wide range of hormonal changes.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms of skin pigmentation are quite easy to spot. You will notice discolored spots in areas such as the face, chest, arms, upper back, and shoulders; basically, any area that is exposed to the sun for long periods.<\/p>\n<p>Pigmentation starts with brown or tan patches and spots on the skin. With time, these spots may become larger and darker.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Types\">Types of Skin Pigmentation<\/h2>\n<p>Pigmentation can occur in different forms, as outlined below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Melasma<\/strong> - This is pigmentation that usually occurs on the face of both men and women but mostly in women.
