What is Skin Pigmentation?
Skin pigmentation is the color of your skin. It’s determined by the amount of melanin, a natural pigment that gives your skin, hair, and eyes their unique color. Your skin could become darker or lighter due to changes in your body’s production of melanin.
A variety of factors could cause this, from the genes you’re born with to skin damage from acne or sun exposure.
Causes of Skin Pigmentation
There are two key types of melanin:
Eumelanin
is brown and black in color and protects your skin. It does so by limiting the amount of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays that can break
through and pick up reactive oxygen radicals which if left alone could damage your cells and DNA and potentially lead to chronic health conditions like cancer.
Pheomelanin
on the other hand, is yellow and red in color. Unlike eumelanin, pheomelanin provides very little protection from UV rays
and can actually support the production of reactive oxygen radicals and the damage they cause.
Your skin pigmentation is determined by the balance of these types of melanin in your skin. This can shift depending on your hormones, interactions with other cells in your body, the impact of certain genes, and
more.
Skin Pigment Discoloration
Types of skin pigmentation include:
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation causes skin to become darker or different in color due to an abnormally high amount of melanin or other
pigments in the skin.
Hypopigmentation
Skin with hypopigmentation is lighter in color due to an abnormally low amount of melanin.
Depigmentation
Depigmentation occurs when your skin completely loses pigment and turns white. One common cause of depigmentation
is vitiligo, an autoimmune condition that causes smooth, white patches to appear on the skin.
