Melasma, sun spots, age spots or hyperpigmentation causes and treatments.
Hyperpigmentation, also known as melasma, age spots, liver spots or sun spots, is a common skin conditions to experience, and it can occur on all skin types. Hyperpigmentation occurs when more melanin is produced in some areas than others, resulting in darkened patches on the skin in comparison with lighter areas. These ‘sun spots’ usually occur on parts of your body that are frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, shoulders, arms and legs. There are many types of hyperpigmentation, but the following are the most common:
Hyperpigmentation itself is not a cause for medical concern as long as there is no change to the skin other than in terms of the colour. Whatever the hyperpigmentation causes, age spots and melasma should be flat, and shouldn’t feel very different to the rest of your skin. If there are any other changes to your skin with sun spots, such as a raised texture, you can have a biopsy done to ensure that it’s nothing serious.

Prevention of hyperpigmentation should ideally start at a young age. If you layer up the sunblock religiously when your skin is still youthful, it might reduce the likelihood of developing sun spots when you’re older. It’s also advisable to follow a good skincare routine to avoid inflammation and irritation as these are common hyperpigmentation causes. Moisturisers, lotions and creams with an SPF are essential.
