Skin aggravation - Certain areas of the skin can aggravate after individuals have had irritation on the skin. This can result in skin inflammation, dermatitis, lupus, or damage to the skin. Individuals with darker skin are bound to create such hyperpigmentation.
Melasma - Darker patches of skin can occur when individuals experience hormonal changes. This kind of hyperpigmentation is normal during pregnancy.
