overpigmentation
Too much color
Overpigmentation is excess pigment in the skin, resulting in patches darker than surrounding areas.
The condition has various causes—sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, or injury.
Dermatologists treat overpigmentation with lightening agents, chemical peels, or laser therapy.
