Detailed answer

Hyperpigmentation occurs when there is an overproduction of melanin, usually triggered by factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, or certain medications. The use of perfumes or fragrances does not directly cause hyperpigmentation. However, it is important to note that some individuals may have skin sensitivities or allergic reactions to certain perfumes or fragrances, which can lead to inflammation or irritation. Inflammation or irritation may exacerbate existing hyperpigmentation or result in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), but the fragrance itself does not directly cause hyperpigmentation.
