At some time in their lives, most people experience a pigmentation problem with their skin. It might start after an acne lesion, a skin injury or scar and in many women of color, be a reaction on their face to hormones. Pigmentation in the skin is usually from Melanin, a chemical produced in the skin cell called the Melanocyte ( sometimes pigmentation on the lower legs can be from old bruising as well).
