Pigmentary issues are dealt first by classifying on the basis of underlying cause, affected part and level of pigmentation - whether it is epidermal or deep dermal. It is very important to rule out any underlying systemic condition or any hormonal aberrations before starting the treatment.

The commonly encountered pigmentation problems are:
- Melasma - brown, flat patches over the cheeks, forehead and upper lips on both sides
- Freckles - tiny, pin-head sized tan or brown flat spots over face caused by clustering of concentrated melanin
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation - develops on the face, neck or chest secondary to inflammatory dermatoses such as acne, atopic dermatitis, bug bite or psoriasis
- Hyperpigmentation in pregnancy - seen in axilla, areola, lower abdomen in midline, external genitalia and anal regions
- Cosmeceutical induced pigmentation or Ashy dermatoses - diffuse pigmentation over face due to idiopathic allergic reactions to cosmetic products

The resistant and long standing cases are treated with Pixel Q-switch or Pixel Er:YAG laser. Use of sunscreen is a must for treatment of any kind of pigmentation.
