Pigmentation changes refer to alterations in the color of the skin, hair, or eyes due to variations in melanin production. These changes can manifest as hyperpigmentation (darkening) or hypopigmentation (lightening) and may result from factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, medical conditions, or certain medications. Understanding these changes is crucial for diagnosing and treating various dermatological conditions.
