Hyperpigmentation: Causes of, and Treatments
Hyperpigmentation is where areas of skin become darker in colour than the surrounding skin. This occurs when an external influence such as UV radiation or cosmetic treatments (even hair removal using tear off strips) create inflammation in the skin (often not visible), which stimulates skin cells called ‘melanocytes’ to produce more melanin or skin pigment. This can affect the skin colour of people of any race.

Symptoms range from recurrent blushing attacks, prolonged blushing to permanent red skin often associated with thread veins.
