What is Post-Burn Pigmentation?
Post-burn pigmentation refers to darkened or discolored skin that develops after a burn injury heals. Even after the wound has healed, the affected area may retain hyperpigmentation, giving an uneven skin tone and affecting appearance.
Causes of Post-Burn Pigmentation
- Inflammatory Response – Skin produces excess melanin during the healing process.
- Second-Degree Burns or Deeper – Cause more noticeable pigmentation changes.
- Sun Exposure Post-Burn – Can darken healing skin further.
- Infection During Healing – May worsen pigmentation.
- Delayed Wound Healing – Chronic irritation can increase melanin production.
- Genetic Predisposition – Some skin types are more prone to hyperpigmentation.
- Chemical or Thermal Burns – Both can trigger post-inflammatory pigmentation.
- Improper Aftercare – Lack of moisturizing or protection may worsen dark patches.
