Hyperpigmentation can develop after injuries such as cuts and burns or inflammation caused by disorders such as acne and lupus.
Some people develop hyperpigmentation in areas of skin that have been exposed to sunlight. Some plants (including limes, celery, and parsley) contain compounds called furocoumarins that make some people’s skin more sensitive to the effects of ultraviolet light. This reaction is called phytophotodermatitis, our cocktails do magnificent work about it.
