Glossary Hyperpigmented Papules

small, dark, raised skin bumps

This increased pigmentation can result from various causes, including inflammation, sun exposure, or certain skin conditions. For professionals, these lesions may warrant further investigation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
