Hyperpigmentation caused by the above examples can occur anywhere on the face, chest, arms, hands, legs, private regions and even around the anus. Treatment includes same as above for melasma.

Darker skin individuals represent a significant and growing group of patients seeking skin discoloration treatments also known as hyperpigmentation skin treatments and products. This is because of the increased awareness of safe, affordable aesthetic skin products. The problem with most skin lightening products (aka skin bleaching creams) is that they contain caustic chemicals.

People with darker skin tones are prone to certain skin problems such as spots. These spots are caused by an insult to deeply pigmented skin, such as acne, a cut, or a disorder such as psoriasis.

 Melanocytes are very sensitive cells and can either stop producing color- hypopigmentation  or produce excessive color in cases of inflammation- post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation.  PIH  which is most commonly seen in areas where acne blemishes heal, leaving a dark spot behind. Skin Renewal Method developed a skin lightening system which is safe for people of darker pigment; not only is it safe to use (no discoloration of the skin) but it is very efficient in helping to even out hyperpigmentation in dark or black skin.

The following are some causes of what is known as hyperpigmentation (discoloration of the skin):

• injury to the skin
• excessive sun exposure
• chronic inflammation
• hormonal imbalances, resulting from the use of oral contraceptives or pregnancy
• psoriasis
• the use of perfumed cosmetics in the sun, because of the chemicals they contain which may cause photosensitivity

Changes in skin color is more prominent in persons of medium skin color, such as Asians, Hispanics, and light-skinned blacks.

Basically, hyperpigmentation means that the skin’s pigment (color) is discolored; usually, an abnormal brown color.  The cells responsible for the skin’s pigment (color) are called melanocytes. They do this by producing a chemical called melanin. In the beginning the melanocytes look similar to other cells, flat with a dark spot in the center, but as the melanocytes mature they develop hollow arms with extenders that project from the sides. These extensions reach out to neighboring cells and provide them with menlanin, which results in coloration of the skin.

Too much exposure to the sun can cause hyperpigmentation. Unknowingly using harmful skin care home remedies such as the use of lemon juice to clear blemishes, may cause discoloration of the skin.
