Résumé :

Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common cosmetic causes for consultation in dermatology for all skin types but especially for those with dark skin or mixture of ethnicities. It is the result of an increase in cutaneous melanin deposition either by increased melanin synthesis or, less commonly, by a greater number of melanocytes.1 Whether the melanin is deposited in the epidermis or dermis is important therapeutically because dermal hyperpigmentation is much more challenging to treat.
