Postinflammatory Hyperpigmentation
Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation is temporary darkening of the skin that follows an injury or inflammatory condition such as dermatitis or an infection. It is mostly seen in darker skin types.
Key points
- The dark patches form because melanin production increases in response to inflammation or injury, and the pigment settles in the skin.
- A more severe injury instead causes hypopigmentation, a loss of colour that is usually permanent.
