Pigmentation, hyperpigmentation of the skin, is a disease associated with excess production of melanin, which is responsible for skin color.

Skin color is always determined by several factors: the number and distribution of pigments, the thickness of the epidermis and stratum corneum, the number and location of blood vessels, and skin texture. Of no small importance is the activity of melanocytes and the amount of melanin granules produced.
