Melanin is an ingredient in our in skin that helps give color to the skin. This melanin when it builds up in excess in certain areas; tends to cause the area to appear darker than the surrounding areas and hence it seems like there are black spots appearing on the skin but it is far from that fact. This condition can affect anybody regardless of the color of their skin and the causes for the discoloration can vary from over exposure to the sun to the production of excess hormones in the body.
Another type of hyper pigmentation is age spots. As the name suggests these spots are caused to ongoing effect of the aging of the skin and it exposure to the sun over the years. Hyper pigmentation is also sometimes caused due to birth marks and also as result of pimple s or blackheads. But you mist pay attention to the sudden appearance of too many dark spots on your body as it may be indicative of another skin complication, other than this; hyper pigmentation is mainly a cosmetic concern and is not dangerous. To treat hyper pigmentation you can ask your pharmacist to recommend a skin product that you can use other wise you can also make use of a skin lightener that is available at any cosmetic or beauty store.
