A member asked:
Can hyperpigmentation be on the left side of your body only?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A rash or infection or injury could have caused hyperpigmentation. It can also be a variant of a type of birth mark or nevus which is deeper in the skin and would be difficult even with laser to remove.
