The common causes of facial hyperpigmentation include melasma, lichen planus pigmentosus, facial acanthosis nigricans, maturational dyschromia, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. In contrast, tinea versicolor, seborrheic dermatitis, and vitiligo are three common causes of hypopigmentation of the face.
