The types of Pigmentation
There are various factors that can cause skin pigmentation. Here are the most common causes:
Melasma
Melasma is a type of skin condition often characterised by brown or blue-grey spots. It is more common in women and can be related to hormonal changes.
Freckles
Freckles, characterised by small, flat, brown spots on the skin, typically appear in sun-exposed areas. They are a benign form of pigmentation mainly induced by sun exposure, particularly in individuals with fair skin or a hereditary inclination.
PIE
(Post-Inflammatory Erythema)Flat, brown spots on the skin, known as solar lentigines or sun spots, are associated with the ageing process and prolonged exposure to sunlight. The affected areas may display a darker hue when compared to the surrounding skin, varying from light brown to black.
PIH
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation, often referred to as PIH, is a type of skin discoloration that arises subsequent to an inflammatory incident, such as acne, burns, or other forms of skin trauma. It is identified by the presence of darkened patches or spots on the skin.
Hori's Nevus
Hori’s Nevus is characterised by a unique form of pigmentation, presenting as a bluish-grey discoloration on the skin, frequently occurring symmetrically on both sides of the face. It tends to be prevalent in women and individuals with Asian heritage.
Nevus of Ota
Nevus of Ota is a bluish or greyish pigmentation condition affecting both the skin and the eyes. It is characterised by an excess of melanocytes, the cells responsible for determining skin colour. It’s generally present from birth and can develop further in life.

How to Treat Pigmentation
Treating pigmentation often involves a combination of skincare products, lifestyle changes, and, in some cases, professional treatments. It's important to note that results can vary, and it may take time to see improvement. Here are some approaches recommended by Dr. Sam to treat pigmentation:
1
Avoid Triggers
If your pigmentation is related to specific triggers such as certain skincare products or hormonal changes, try to avoid or manage these triggers.
2
Topical Treatments
Prescription retinoids, like tretinoin, can promote cell turnover and improve the appearance of pigmented skin. They should be used under the guidance of a dermatologist.
3
Consult a Professional
If you notice persistent or worsening pigmentation, consult a qualified healthcare professional for a personalised assessment and treatment plan.
