scar pigmentation

**scar pigmentation**
Scar pigmentation refers to the changes in skin color that occur on or around a scar as it heals. This can include hyperpigmentation (darkening) or hypopigmentation (lightening) compared to the surrounding skin. Scar pigmentation is influenced by factors such as skin type, the nature of the injury, healing process, and exposure to sunlight. Managing scar pigmentation often involves treatments like topical creams, laser therapy, or chemical peels to help even out skin tone and improve the scar’s appearance.
