What is pigmentation in simple words?

Pigmentation in simple words is the amount of melanin which is generated by the body and this results to the skin color. There are two types of melanin in the body. The pheomelanin which causes lighter skin tone and the eumelanin which is responsible for darker skin tone.

This simply means the more the different types of melanin is in our skin the more the skin color either more lighter or more darker. The eumelanin which is the dark brown pigment helps to absorb ultraviolet rays from the sun and helps protect the skin from sunburn.

The pigmentation of the skin is common and can be caused by factors like exposure to the sun, genetic factors and some particular medication taken by an individual. Understanding the actual cause of the skin pigmentation will help one to know how to treat it.
