What Causes Melasma?
Melasma is a type of hyperpigmentation primarily caused by hormonal changes, making it especially common in women during pregnancy (often referred to as the "mask of pregnancy") or when using birth control. UV exposure is a significant contributing factor, triggering melanocytes to overproduce melanin in the skin. Melasma typically appears as brown or greyish patches on the face, usually on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. It can worsen without proper sun protection. The condition can be treated with topical treatments, chemical peels, and laser therapy, with consistent use of sunscreen being essential in preventing recurrence.
How Can Melasma Be Treated?
Melasma is a condition where brown or greyish patches appear on the skin, often caused by hormonal changes.
