There are many causes of hyperpigmentation (dyschromias) and uneven skin tone as well as different depths of damage to the skin. These types of changes in the skin occur when melanocytes are either destroyed, resulting in hypopigmentation, or over-stimulated, resulting in hyperpigmentation.

Types of Pigment Changes Include:

Hyperpigmentation – darkened pigment

Hypopigmentation – no melanin

Demarcation – uneven pigmentation from procedures, picking or scratching

Melasma– more dense larger patches
