What are ⁠Pigmentation or Melasma?

Pigmentation refers to the coloring of the skin, which is determined by the amount of melanin produced by melanocytes.

 

Pigmentation disorders, such as hyperpigmentation, occur when there is an overproduction of melanin, leading to dark spots, uneven skin tone, or patches of darker skin.
