FACE SKIN PIGMENTATION

Pigmentation – is a Latin word in origin; which in Medicine generally refers to the deposition of pigment in a tissue leading to the coloration of that tissue.

What Is Pigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is the coloration or darkening of an area of the skin or nails. The Skin contains a particular type of cells called melanocytes that produces a pigment called melanin. Depending upon the amount of pigment produced, the skin undergoes pigmentation. If skin produces too much pigment, it gets darker, a condition known as hyperpigmentation. However, if too little of the pigment is formed by the cells, the condition is known as hypopigmentation.
