Intimate area pigmentation

About intimate area pigmentation

Intimate area hyperpigmentation is a common condition caused by the overproduction of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. This occurs when melanocytes, the cells responsible for melanin, become overactive due to factors such as friction, inflammation, or hormonal changes. The genital area contains the highest concentration of melanocytes in the body, approximately 20% more than the facial region. Lifestyle habits, including tight clothing, shaving, or inadequate skincare, can irritate the skin and lead to darkening over time. Medical factors like hormonal fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause also play a significant role, as these changes stimulate melanocytes to produce more pigment. Additionally, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, where darkened skin remains after wounds, ingrown hairs, irritation or injury, is a frequent concern.

Hormones, particularly oestrogen, have a profound impact, as melanocytes in the genital region are especially sensitive to hormonal changes. This heightened sensitivity makes the area more prone to darkening during periods of hormonal shifts, such as pregnancy or menopause. External factors like a high-sugar diet and exposure to xenoestrogens in foods can further aggravate pigmentation by increasing inflammation and mimicking hormonal effects. At Leicester MediSpa, we offer tailored treatments and expert advice to help manage intimate area pigmentation effectively, boosting both your comfort and confidence.
