๐ฟ What Is Hormonal Pigmentation?
Hormonal pigmentation manifests as brown patches, freckles, or uneven darkened areas on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip.
It is commonly triggered by:
- Pregnancy & Postpartum melasma
- PCOS dark spots & hormonal imbalances
- Oral contraceptives or hormone therapies
- UV exposure worsening pigmentation
Ayurveda’s Lens: Vyanga
- Condition linked to Pitta dosha imbalance and Rakta dhatu (blood tissue).
- Symptoms include dark patches and uneven tone.
- Ayurvedic care focuses on cooling, blood purification, and Pitta balance.
