Hyperpigmentation
What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of an area of skin or nails caused by
increased melanin. Hyperpigmentation may be caused by sun damage,
inflammation, or other skin injuries, including those related to acne vulgaris.
People with darker Asian, Mediterranean, or African skin tones are also more
prone to hyperpigmentation, especially if they have excess sun exposure. Many
forms of hyperpigmentation are caused by an excess production of melanin.
Hyperpigmentation can be diffuse or focal, affecting such areas as the face and
the back of the hands. Melanin is produced by melanocytes at the lower layer
of the epidermis. Melanin is a class of pigment responsible for producing color
in the body in places such as the eyes, skin, and hair. As the body ages,
melanocyte distribution becomes less diffuse and its regulation less controlled
by the body. UV light stimulates melanocyte activity, and where concentrations
of the cells are denser than surrounding areas, hyperpigmentation is affected.
Can also be caused by using skin lightening lotions. Another form of
hyperpigmentation is Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. These are dark and
discolored spots that appear on your skin following acne that has healed.
How to treat hyperpigmentation
A wide variety of treatments are available for Hyperpigmentation unfortunately

including salicylic acid peels, application of dry ice to help fade marks, topical

Linea Nigra
What is Linea Nigra?
Linea nigra (Latin for "black line") is a dark vertical line that appears on the
abdomen during about three quarters of all pregnancies. The brownish streak is
usually about a centimeter in width. The line runs vertically along the midline of
the abdomen from the pubis to the umbilicus, but can also run from the pubis to
the top of the abdomen.[2] Linea nigra is due to increased melanocytestimulating hormone made by the placenta, which also causes melasma and
darkened nipples. Fair-skinned women show this phenomenon less often than
women with darker pigmentation. Before it appears, it may be more faintly
visible as a white line, called the linea alba ("white line").
How to treat Linea Nigra
There is no treatment for linea nigra as it occurs naturally and tends to fade
away, in most cases, after delivery. UV rays and sunlight can cause a
darkening of the line even through windows so wearing sunscreen may
decrease the darkness of the line.
After pregnancy, linea nigra may fade but remain visible for some women.
During summer months when midlines may come in contact with sunlight, the
line may darken the line so it is important to continue wearing sunscreen in
order to keep the darkness of the line to a minimum. A skin lightener, which
works by slowing down melanin production and removing existing melanin from
the skin may be useful
