Pigmentation is the shade of skin, which is primarily governed by the quantity of melanin generated by the melanocytes in it. Pigmentation is a physiological process that shapes the human biology of an individual from someone of a different skin color. Problems with pigmentation arise when melanin is not produced, resulting in dark spots or discolored skin. Exposure to sunlight, hormonal changes, irritation, and certain drugs can cause abnormal pigmentation in the skin.
