Book hereThe colour of a person's skin can range in tone from very light (a pinkish tone that is considered white) to very dark (black). This colouring is determined by the amount of melanin that is found in the skin. The amount of pigmentation that you have is determined by your ancestors and your sex, for instance, males tend to have slightly more pigmentation than females.
Pigmentation conditions impact the melanin in your skin, resulting in hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
Hypopigmentation is when your skin appears lighter due to a disruption in melanin, it can occur due to an injury such as a burn or it can be genetic, like vitiligo.
Hyperpigmentation is when melanin disruption causes your skin to appear darker. This type of pigmentation is often the result of sun exposure which causes damage to the skin - it's not often harmful but it can be an unwanted condition that you want to treat.
