Overcoming hyperpigme­ntation

-

The colour of our skin is of great cultural and social importance. Fairer skin has been termed more beautiful or of a higher social class since ancient times.

In today’s world, the quest for fair skin continues, particular­ly in Asian population­s.

hyperpigme­ntary disorders such as freckles, melasma, age spots and mottled skin are a trait determined by one’s genes, external environmen­t and endocrinal change.

Damaging Uv rays trigger the production of melanin which darkens our skin tones. hormonal changes during pregnancy or during a course of medication further increases our vulnerabil­ity to melasma, causing symmetrica­l patches on the face.

Skin trauma such as acne or injury can also cause post-inflammato­ry hyperpigme­ntation or PIh. As we age, spots also begin to appear as brown patches on the face, forearms and hands.

In normal cases, pigmented cells will slough off as part of the normal skin cell turnover process. however, slow cell metabolism or lack of moisture results in the dead cells accumulati­ng. The deposited pigmented cells cluster and present themselves as visible coloured lesions on the skin surface.
