Pigment spots
Skin pigmentation is a complex biological phenomenon that is responsible for skin color in human beings. Skin color is determined by the amount and type of pigments present in the skin. These pigments are produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found in the epidermis of the skin.
Skin pigmentation is genetically determined and is influenced by many factors such as sun exposure, hormones, age, skin diseases and medications. People with darker skin naturally produce more melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, than people with lighter skin.

Skin pigmentation issues
Skin pigmentation issues are common and can be caused by conditions such as hyperpigmentation, which is an excessive buildup of melanin in certain areas of the skin. Freckles are a common example of hyperpigmentation.
There are many treatment options for skin pigmentation issues, including skin lightening creams, chemical peels, and laser treatments. However, it is important to take precautions to protect your skin from sun damage, by using sunscreen and avoiding excessive sun exposure.
In summary, skin pigmentation is a complex biological process that is influenced by many factors. It is important to understand the implications of your skin type and take precautions to protect your skin from sun damage and to treat any skin pigmentation issues appropriately.
Some examples :
The solar lentigo
Solar lentigo is a form of hyperpigmented spot that manifests as round patches of light brown color. They usually appear on the areas of the skin most exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands and décolleté, following repeated sun exposure with age. These spots are also known as sun spots or age spots.
Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a condition that occurs when the body produces an excessive amount of melanin in response to injury. This is a natural defense mechanism of the body. When sun exposure occurs during the healing period, it can lead to skin pigmentation. Pigmentation spots can also appear in case of acne or insect bites. These spots may persist after the skin lesion has healed and are known as pigment scars.
