Hyperpigmentation is a prevalent skin condition characterised by the presence of dark spots or patches on the skin, often appearing in shades of brown, black, gray, red, or pink. These areas of pigmentation can vary in size and may manifest as freckles, age spots, or larger patches of darkened skin. This condition occurs when specialised skin cells produce an excess amount of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin coloration.
