Hyperpigmentation What to know about it?

Hyperpigmentation  happens as the skin releases more melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour.
This can make streaks or patches of skin look darker than surrounding areas.
Some types of hyperpigmentation, including melasma and sun spots, are more likely to affect regions of skin that face sun exposure, including the face, arms, and legs. Using excess color in certain parts of skin is typically harmless but may also suggest another medical condition.

Although hyperpigmentation is harmless, some people wish to get rid of it. There are a variety of potential recovery strategies and home remedies that people can use.
