Skin Pigmentation

Skin pigmentation refers to the colour of the skin. Skin pigmentation disorders cause changes to the colour of your skin. Melanin is made by specialised cells in the skin and is the pigment responsible for skin’s colour. Sun damage is the most common cause of skin hyperpigmentation and usually affects the parts of the body that are most frequently exposed to the sun. Other causes include medications like chemotherapy drugs, pregnancy, hormone imbalance diseases (endocrine), melasma, insulin resistance, skin irritation and injury to skin. While many such conditions are self-limiting some may require timely treatment for a better outcome. Effective preventive modalities are pivotal in avoiding development of this condition in predisposed individuals. We at CutopiaTM provide proven scientific treatment and preventive modalities for pigmentary disorders.
