Hypopigmentation – There is a decreased amount of Pigmentation or Melanin production leading to lighter areas or tone than the normal skin.

  1. Excess Melanin Production – The cause of Hyperpigmentation is excess melanin production. Melanin is a pigment that gives skin its colour. It’s produced by skin cells called melanocytes.
