A member asked:

When do people begin getting hyperpigmentation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on cause: If you are speaking of the common melasma that so many women get, it usually begins in teenage years or early adulthood associated with hormones and sun exposure. We see if frequently begin with birth control pills or pregnancy.
