	Diltiazem-induced photodistributed hyperpigmentation
		In all four patients, the morphological appearance of the hyperpigmentation is reticulated and typically slate gray to blue-gray in color.
		Photodistributed hyperpigmentation, in particular, has been associated with such drugs as amiodarone, minocycline, phenothiazines, and imipramine, which produce similar patterns of progressive blue-gray pigmentation in sun-exposed areas that sometimes can be differentiated histologically and histochemically.
		The pathogenesis of drug-induced hyperpigmentation is dependent on the causative medication and may involve an accumulation of melanin, accumulation of the drug or its metabolites, deposition of a drug-melanin complex, or deposits of iron following damage to the dermal vessels [13, 14].

	Hyperpigmentation Treatment
		Hyperpigmentation refers to skin that has turned darker than normal where the change that has occurred is unrelated to sun exposure.
		Hyperpigmentation has its origins in one of two broad categories: induced by products or procedures (environmental cause), or in the more natural processes such as aging, pregnancy (intrinsic cause).
		Sudden onset of hyperpigmentation, that is, a lot of spots and blotches that show up over a six month period, marked by the feeling, “I didn’t have any of this a year ago,” indicates a strong likelihood that either a product or procedure (or both) or other environmental cause has been at work.

	hyperpigmentation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Simply put, hyperpigmentation modifies the coloring of the skin because of an excess of pigment known as hyperpigmentation or, conversely, a lack of pigmentation known as hypopigmentation.
		Due to excessive sun exposure, sun damage and hormonal imbalance or skin inflammation from trauma, hyperpigmentation may be expressed as dark spots on the face, neck, torso and arms because of an uneven accumulation of pigment in the upper layers of the skin -- the epidermis.
		When hyperpigmentation is the result of melanin accumulation on the skin surface, glycolic acid-based products or retinoic acid products help to lighten darkened areas because of exfoliation properties that help to eliminate accumulated melanin.
