Dark marks on the skin, also known as hyperpigmentation, can occur for a variety of reasons such as acne, sun damage, or injury.
When the skin is damaged, the body produces excess melanin, which is the pigment that gives skin its color. This excess melanin can cause dark spots or patches to appear on the skin. In some cases, hyperpigmentation can become deep in the skin due to the severity of the damage.
For example, if an acne lesion is picked or scratched, it can cause the inflammation to spread deeper into the skin, leading to more severe hyperpigmentation. Similarly, if the skin is repeatedly exposed to the sun without protection, the damage can accumulate over time, causing deeper hyperpigmentation.
Taking preventative measures to protect your skin from further damage is crucial. This includes wearing sunscreen and avoiding the urge to pick at acne lesions.
