With the pollutants in the air increasing everyday and the ultra violet rays of the sun getting harsher, skin problems are inevitable. Many face adult acne, hyper pigmentation, rashes, sun burnt skin, etc. While there is general awareness about acne and acne treatment among the general public, there is little to no awareness about skin pigmentation. Here are a few causes of skin hyper pigmentation.
- One of the most commonly known causes of hyper pigmentation is exposure to the sun. The harsh rays of the sun might cause discrepancies in the melanin distribution under the skin and cause pigmentation. Sun block is your safest bet against such blots.
- Hormonal changes also cause hyper skin pigmentation. Women carrying a child or under hormonal pills are likely to face such pigmentation.
- Sometimes exposure of harsh chemicals to delicate skin such as facial hair removal creams on the face can cause discolouration of skin.
- One of the lesser known causes of hyper pigmentation is citrus. Excessive use or lemon or lime can cause light spots over your skin.
- Very tight clothing such as elastic or a tight bra can cause pigmentation. Constant friction due to excessive rubbing causes such discolorations. For such pigmentation laser treatment is a viable solution.
