MAIN SYMPTOMS
HERE’S HOW PIGMENTATION MIGHT BE SHOWING UP ON YOUR SKIN:
MELASMA
DARKER PATCHES ON THE SKIN
LIGHTER PATCHES ON THE SKIN
PREGNANCY MASK

Pigmentation comes in different forms such as hyperpigmentation; darker patches and hypopigmentation; lighter patches. This causes an uneven skin tone most commonly on the forehead.
WHAT IS IT?
Pigmentation is usually caused by sun damage but can also be down to hormonal changes, contraception and pregnancy. It is essentially the over production of melanin in the skin. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are responsible for controlling the colour of our skin.
