Understanding Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition where certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin due to excess melanin production. It can appear as spots, patches, or uneven tone, and may be caused by acne marks, sun damage, hormonal changes, skin injuries, or inflammation.

Although not harmful, hyperpigmentation can be a cosmetic concern for many people, especially when it affects the face, neck, or hands. It tends to be more noticeable in medium to darker skin tones and often worsens with sun exposure or improper skincare. Identifying the root cause is essential for choosing the most effective treatment.

How We Care for Hyperpigmentation at Dr. Mukadam’s Clinic

At Dr. K. E. Mukadam’s clinic, we take a customised and medically supervised approach to treating hyperpigmentation. After examining your skin type and understanding the history behind your pigmentation, we select a treatment plan that is both safe and result-oriented.

Treatment may include prescription topical creams (like hydroquinone, retinoids, or tranexamic acid), chemical peels, skin brightening agents, or gentle laser therapy. We also guide you with proper skincare routines and sun protection strategies to prevent further pigmentation. Every plan is tailored to ensure your skin clears safely without irritation or post-treatment darkening.

What to Expect When You Visit Us

Your first visit will include a detailed skin assessment by Dr. Mukadam, focusing on the type and depth of pigmentation, possible triggers, and your skin’s sensitivity. Whether your pigmentation is post-acne, melasma-related, sun-induced, or due to previous treatments gone wrong, we work toward identifying the cause first.

Once diagnosed, your treatment journey begins with a clear plan: topical care, in-clinic procedures, and daily habits. Our team ensures you’re supported throughout the process, with follow-ups to track progress and make any necessary adjustments.
