Hypopigmentation vs. Hyperpigmentation: What’s the Difference and How to Treat It


Listen Later

In this episode of The SKIN Report, Dr. Simran Sethi explores the key differences between hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation—and why understanding both matters for treating your skin effectively.

While hyperpigmentation is widely discussed, hypopigmentation often leads to confusion and misinformation. Dr. Sethi explains common causes of each, including pityriasis alba, melasma, vitiligo, and post-inflammatory pigment loss. She shares actionable skincare strategies for managing white spots caused by dryness and eczema, especially in melanin-rich skin tones, and breaks down why blue light protection is a must in your daily SPF.

👉 If you’ve ever noticed white or dark spots on your skin and wondered what they mean or how to treat them, this episode gives you the science-backed clarity you need.
