Each time your skin is exposed to UV light without adequate protection, it produces extra melanin as a defence. Over time, this damage builds up and becomes visible as dark spots and uneven tone.  \n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    - Hormonal changes, which can stimulate melanin production. This is why pigmentation such as melasma often appears during pregnancy, when taking hormonal contraception, or around perimenopause and menopause.\n \n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    - Inflammation or irritation, which can trigger excess pigment during the healing process. This may follow acne, injuries, burns, or certain skin conditions.\n \n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    - Your natural skin type and genetic background, which influence how your skin responds to these triggers and how likely you are to develop pigmentation.\n</p>","00524f8a-98d9-4f47-b5d0-b4c407115118":[6848],"fb812f21-7614-47e0-b55a-8ed5607b5f4b":false,"c38db626-85ba-4201-9240-e8c2b19beb5e":"<h3>\n    Where Does Hyperpigmentation Appear?\n</h3>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n\n<p>\nHyperpigmentation can develop anywhere on the body, but it most commonly appears in areas that have had the greatest exposure to the sun over time.\n\nCommon areas include:</p>\n<p>\n    - The face, particularly the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and temples, where pigmentation often appears as patches or uneven tone.\n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    - The backs of the hands, which are frequently exposed to sunlight and are one of the most common areas for age spots to develop.\n \n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    - The chest, where the skin is more delicate and often exposed during warmer months.\n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    - The shoulders and forearms, which receive significant sun exposure over the years and are prone to developing pigmentation changes.\n</p>","7509c6f1-b682-433b-9708-0d83e83f3a1f":[5075]}
