Signs Of Parry-Romberg Syndrome

Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a relatively common condition that can occur alongside Parry-Romberg syndrome. When the condition occurs, small patches of skin begin to be darker-colored than the surrounding skin. This condition occurs across all races and skin types. In many cases, the pigmentation happens as a result of sun damage. Melasma spots look similar in appearance to the solar-induced spots, but they typically occur due to changes in hormones. It's common for pregnancy to make the body overproduce melanin. When darkened skin patches are exposed to sunlight, they may become more pronounced or darker. This occurs when the melanin absorbs ultraviolet radiation to protect against burns and skin cancer. If you're trying to reduce overly pigmented skin, wear sunscreen at all times. Just one instance of overexposure to sunlight might undo your treatment.
