Homeopathic Remedy For Hyperpigmentation
When certain areas of the skin become comparatively dark than the rest of the skin tone, we medically term it as hyperpigmentation or melasma,
These patches can be yellowish, brownish, bluish , or blackish in color.
Hyperpigmentation is more prominent over cheeks, forehead, upper lips and nose and occurs mainly between 20-40 years of age.
When facial pigmentation occurs during pregnancy, we term it as chloasma.
As noticed, it is more common in women but men may also get hyperpigmentation.
There are three types of hyperpigmentation
- Lentigines: Freckles arising on skin
- Solar lentigines: Caused due to prolonged sun exposure
- Melasma: Majorly caused due to hormonal changes
Pigmentation refers to the color of the skin. Melanocytes are the skin cells that produce melanin that imparts color to the skin.
Overproduction of melanin causes melasma. This excess production happens majorly due to hormonal imbalance caused during childbirth, pregnancy or menopause.
There can be various other factors as well such as genetic predisposition age , stress, lack of sleep, etc.
Causes of facial pigmentation

Imbalance in thyroid hormone causes facial pigmentation
