Skin pigmentation disorders affect the color of your skin. Your skin gets its color from a pigment called melanin, which is a product of special cells in the skin. When these cells become unhealthy or incur damage, it affects melanin production, leading to skin pigmentation disorders.
Various factors can cause these disorders. These include sun exposure, skin damage, certain medications, hormonal changes, genetics, and inflammation. These cause different types of pigmentation disorders, like albinism, vitiligo, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Treatment for pigmentation disorders depend on the underlying cause. Topical creams containing depigmenting agents can lighten areas of darkened skin. Laser treatment can also target and break down areas of hyperpigmentation. Microdermabrasion and chemical peels remove the top layer of skin, reducing the appearance of darker pigmentation. Sun protection, including using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and seeking shade is also crucial to prevent damage from the sun.
