Pigmentation is coloring- in this case, the coloring of the skin. Melanin is the pigment responsible for the color of your skin. Melanin is produced by skin cells called melanocytes.
Skin pigmentation disorders cause changes to the color of your skin. Skin disorders come about when melanocytes become damaged or grow unhealthy. For example, hyperpigmentation- (a skin pigmentation disorder) causes patches on your skin or darken your entire body.
Hyperpigmentation is a prevalent skin issue that many Malaysians face. It is associated with a great deal of psychological suffering and stigma.
