A member asked:

How to stop hyperpigmentation? it occurs to some areas on my body even though i am cleaning my body everyday and scrubbing every the other day.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get checked: Your hyperpigmentation is apparently not a hygiene issue. Not sure what it is, but there may be an allergy, medication reaction, or hormonal issue, among other considerations. Do see a clinician, get checked, & find out for sure. Hope that helps.
