class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"1271\">Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) refers to darkened patches of skin that appear after the skin undergoes inflammation or injury\u2014such as acne breakouts, scratches, allergic reactions, or cosmetic procedures like microneedling or laser therapy. As a protective response, the body produces excess melanin\u2014the pigment responsible for skin color\u2014leading to darker areas on the affected skin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1446\">This process is more common in individuals with sensitive or darker skin tones, where the melanin production is more intense, resulting in uneven pigmentation after healing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3556\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3556\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
