Morphology
hyperpigmentation = pigmentation (transparent) = hyper + pigment + ation
The meaning is directly compositional: hyper- means excessive or over, and pigmentation means skin coloring, so the whole word means excessive pigmentation.
Etymology
Hyperpigmentation begins with hyper-, meaning 'too much', as in hyperactive, and ends with pigmentation, from pigment, meaning 'color'. So hyperpigmentation is when the skin makes 'too much' color and becomes darker.
