Best Answer

Skin pigmentation can occur at birth or because of illness, sun or age. Freckles, age spots, port-wine stains and birthmarks are all naturally occurring and have few side effects providing they are not raised. Vitiligo and Hyperpigmentation can be the result of another medical condition and required treatment.
