Hello! Pigmentation is a very broad term which means any change in skin color which may be darker or lighter. A darker discoloration as compared to surrounding skin is called as hyperpigmentation. Tanning is a type of hyperpigmentation. Medicines, sunscreens and procedures like peels, Microdermabrasion ans q switch laser can restore ur normal skin tone.
