Does birth control worsen hyperpigmentation?

I developed some hyperpigmentation recently, and I've learned that birth control could cause that. I've since stopped birth control, but I want to get back on it; someone told me stopping birth control doesnt help get rid of the hyperpigmentation but my question is would going back on it make it worse? Granted I was also really inconsistent with keeping up with my birth control and I think that may have been the main reason.
