Skin pigmentation is determined by the quantity and variety of melanin - a pigment created by specialized skin cells called melanocytes. Variations in melanin production can result in pigment abnormalities such as dark or light spots and patches on the skin. The more melanin an individual generates, the darker their eyes, hair and skin appear. This production is also influenced by genetic factors.
Physical impacts on the skin, including acne, blisters, wounds and exposure to ultraviolet light, can alter melanin production. These alterations can consequently affect skin coloration, leading to an uneven skin tone.
