How to Treat Hyperpigmentation and Dark Spots Or Patches in the Skin

Hyper pigmentation is a skin ailment. It causes dark patches on the skin. Some people think that such patches only arise due to over exposure to the sun. The fact is that melanocytes (a cell of the skin) produce an enzyme called melanin. This is responsible for giving the color to our skin. In some circumstances the melanocytes work abnormally and produce an excess of melanin. This makes our skin dark in color. Some of its common forms are age spots, liver spots, etc. In extreme cases it leads to melasma or chloasma.

Here are some Hyper pigmentation Treatments:
