What causes dark spots?

Dark spots or hyperpigmentation are due to the overproduction of melanin in the skin by melanocytes. This extra melanin can be triggered by a lot of different things. Hormones (both estrogen and progesterone) can increase the level of melanin. That's why pregnant women see dark spots that often lighten following birth; the sun can increase the level of melanin. That is also why we have more dark spots after the summer.
