Dr. Semira Bayati, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, joins the Balancing Act with a discussion on Hyperpigmentation, which can affect almost anyone. 

It's caused by an increase in melanin, which is the substance in our body responsible for color/pigment. With this usually harmless skin condition, your skin becomes uneven with spots darker than your natural skin tone. There are various creams on the market designed to combat or reduce the appearance of the condition, but you need to pay close attention to the ingredients. 

One natural alternative is Meladerm, manufactured by Civant Skin Care.
