What is the root cause of pigmentation?
Sun damage and exposure to UV/IR rays are the main reasons behind pigmentation. The parts that are more exposed to the sun get damaged and are at high risk of pigmentation. Always apply sunscreen with good SPF when stepping out from your home or even if you are working on a computer screen for a long time. Other reasons could be chemotherapy, pregnancy hormones, skin irritation, insulin disorder, etc.
