Pigmentation Marks
Hyperpigmentation can cause brown discolourations on skin. This is due to overproduction of a pigment called melanin.
There are mainly four types of hyperpigmentation:
- Post inflammatory hyper pigmentation (PIH) is caused by any condition which can damage the skin e.g eczema, acne, burns etc
- Melasma causes the development of dark spots on the cheeks, forehead and upper lip.
- Sun spots – dark patches of different sizes seen in older individuals are due to sun damage.
- Freckles -pigmentation seen in young people with fair skin which is prone to sun burn.
- Irrespective of the cause, Dr Fay is an expert at treating pigmentation problems.
