Hyperpigmentation, discoloration, and melasma affect people of all skin tones.  Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin, hair, and eye colour.   Our family history largely determines the type and amount of melanin in our bodies, but environmental factors spaced over time also cause our skin pigmentation to evolve; diet and certain medical conditions can also influence its production and play a significant role in determining melanin levels; ecological factors; lifestyle choices, diet, and hormonal changes also influence pigmentation.  People want quick and permanent solutions for these issues; however, understanding the biological and external factors contributing to pigmentation and the overproduction of melanin is essential for effective management.    ·
