What it means
Start with the pattern, not the treatment name
Pigmentation is a broad description, not one diagnosis. Melanin can become more visible after ultraviolet exposure, inflammation, hormonal change, medication or skin injury. The pattern, depth, timing and trigger determine whether cosmetic support, medical review or no treatment is appropriate.
