GlossaryDyspigmentation

abnormal color changes in skin or hair due to melanin issues

Dyspigmentation refers to abnormal changes in the color of the skin or hair due to irregularities in melanin production or distribution. This can manifest as patches of skin that are either darker (hyperpigmentation) or lighter (hypopigmentation) than the surrounding areas, and can be caused by various factors including genetic conditions, inflammation, infections, or exposure to certain chemicals.
