What is Melasma?
Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by the development of dark, irregular, and symmetrical patches of brown or grayish-brown pigmentation on the skin. These patches typically appear on areas of the face exposed to sunlight, such as the cheeks, forehead, bridge of the nose, and upper lip. Melasma is sometimes referred to as "chloasma" or "the mask of pregnancy" because it often occurs during pregnancy due to hormonal changes, but can also affect individuals who are not pregnant.
Treatment options for melasma include, chemical peels, laser therapy, topical skincare products, and strict sun protection measures. It's essential for individuals with melasma to use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and take steps to minimize sun exposure to help prevent the worsening of pigmentation.
