Each time skin is exposed to the sun without enough protection, it produces extra melanin as a defence, and that damage builds up slowly over the years\n \n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    - Hormonal changes can stimulate extra melanin production, which is why melasma often appears during pregnancy, while taking hormonal contraception, or around perimenopause and menopause \n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    - When the skin becomes inflamed or irritated, the healing process can sometimes leave behind extra pigment. This can happen after acne, injuries, burns, or certain skin conditions \n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    - Your natural skin type and genetic background play a big role in how your skin responds to triggers and how likely you are to develop certain kinds of pigmentation\n</p>","00524f8a-98d9-4f47-b5d0-b4c407115118":[6848],"fb812f21-7614-47e0-b55a-8ed5607b5f4b":false,"c38db626-85ba-4201-9240-e8c2b19beb5e":"<h3>Where Does Hyperpigmentation Appear?</h3><p> </p><p> </p><p>- The face is the most common area for all types of hyperpigmentation, with the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and temples especially prone to developing dark patches</p><p> </p><p>- The backs of the hands are frequently exposed to sunlight and are one of the most common places for age spots to appear </p><p> </p><p>- The chest area is often exposed to the sun, especially during the summer months, and the skin here is quite delicate</p><p> </p><p>- The tops of the shoulders and forearms receive a great deal of sun exposure over the years, so pigmentation changes often develop here</p>","7509c6f1-b682-433b-9708-0d83e83f3a1f":[5075]}
