HealthWhy Pigmentation Returns: Causes from Sun to Skincare Habits
Pigmentation often returns despite treatment because the skin continues producing excess pigment. Dr. Ashwini Kandikatla, dermatologist at Dermis Oracle, Mumbai, explains that daily sun exposure, not just holidays or long outdoor hours, stimulates melanocytes to produce melanin. This can darken existing pigmentation and cause new uneven skin tones. Visible light also affects some pigmentary conditions, contributing to recurrence.
