Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (“acquired melanosis”) is the temporary pigmentation caused by skin trauma (injuries and burns) or inflammatory skin conditions (acne complications, skin infection, and dermatitis). It appears as pigmented lesions on the skin long after the original condition has healed. Sun exposure also causes the brown patches on the skin to darken.
Hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin produces more melanin, the pigment that provides the skin its dark color. Inflammation on the skin stimulates the melanocytes and boosts the production of melanin. Uneven pigmentation is more common for people with dark skin tones. They usually experience skin discoloration that is more intense and long-lasting.
Aside from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, other types of hyperpigmentation like melasma, liver spots, sun spots, and age spots may also appear on the skin. Consulting with a board-certified physician or skin care expert and going through skin biopsy helps patients find out which condition caused their pigmentation issues.
