Hyperpigmentation Around The Mouth

Hyperpigmentation or pigmentation around the mouth is a common occurrence, which darkens the mouth area due to the increased production of melanin. Hyperpigmentation isn’t a serious issue from a health perspective but we understand from an aesthetics point of view it can be a serious issue to some. Generally speaking, people with a darker skin complexion are more prone to hyperpigmentation. The reason for this is because melanin in darker skin produces melanin at a higher rate compared to lighter skin complexions.

Hyperpigmentation around the mouth tends to worsen during the summer months. As your skin can get stimulated to create more melanin in your skin, due to prolonged exposure to the sun.
