Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Why does Addison’s disease cause changes in skin pigmentation? Hyperpigmentation happens in people with Addison’s disease because the adrenal insufficiency causes changes in hormone levels. These hormones changes means that more melanin is produced and the skin appears more tanned.
Detailed explanation-2: -Addison’s disease is usually the result of a problem with the immune system, which causes it to attack the outer layer of the adrenal gland (the adrenal cortex), disrupting the production of the steroid hormones aldosterone and cortisol.
