These dark spots and blemishes are often cause of concern as they negatively affect the confidence and self-esteem of individuals facing this issue.
Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin is overproduced in some areas of the skin. Melanin, an essential pigment in skin hyperpigmentation, is created by the process known as melanogenesis. Tyrsosinase is a major enzyme in melanin formation, and overactivity of the enzyme produces hyperpigmentation.
