Does hyperpigmentation affect different skin ethnicities differently?
In general, the darker the skin, the more problems with hyperpigmentation. Black, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, and Asian skin colorings are more susceptible to all forms of hyperpigmentation, especially to PIH. When severe hyperpigmentation occurs in these skin types, there may be melanocytes deeper in the dermis. This makes common hyperpigmentation treatments often ineffective.
