Hyperpigmentation; Hypopigmentation; Skin - abnormally light or dark. Abnormally dark or light skin is skin that has turned darker or lighter than normal. Hyperpigmentation refers to skin that has turned darker than normal where the change that has occurred is unrelated to sun exposure.
Melasma is a skin condition characterized by brown or blue-gray patches or freckle-like spots. It's often called the “mask of pregnancy.” Melasma happens because of overproduction of the cells that make the color of your skin.
Discolored skin patches also commonly develop in a certain part of the body due to a difference in melanin levels. Melanin is the substance that provides color to the skin and protects it from the sun. When there is an overproduction of melanin in a given area, it can result in skin discoloration there.
A skin pigmentation disorder is a health condition that affects the color of the skin. The pigment melanin gives skin its color. It is made by specialized skin cells called melanocytes. When melanocytes become damaged or unable to produce adequate melanin, skin color can be affected.

A lentigo (plural: lentigines) is a spot on the skin that is darker (usually brown) than the surrounding skin. Lentigines are more common among Caucasian patients, especially those with fair skin, but can occur in anyone.
Dyschromia is a patchy or irregular skin discoloration. This is generally caused by vascular changes in the blood vessels, variations in melanin density or foreign organisms growing within the skin. This is often referred to as mottled or mottling skin.
Lentigo simplex is a type of color-containing (pigmented) lesion not caused by sun exposure, which looks like the freckle-like condition (lentigo) caused by sun exposure (solar lentigo). In both conditions, an increased number of pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) are present.
