Melanin is the pigment that gives skin its colour. When more melanin is produced or builds up in an area, that area can look darker than the skin around it. This is called hyperpigmentation.
Sun exposure, inflammation, hormones and some medicines can contribute. Marks may sit at different depths and need different care, even when they look similar.
