What is Melasma?

Melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation that creates dark spots of discoloration on the skin due to extra melanin production. Melasma is not a dangerous skin condition. However, most people want to remove it if it appears on the body. The leading causes for Melasma are sun exposure and hormonal imbalance. Melasma is commonly seen on the cheeks, upper lip, chin, forehead and other areas.

What causes Melasma?

Melasma can be caused by many factors, including hormones, birth control, pregnancy, genetics, injury (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and, most frequently, by sun exposure. However, Melasma mainly affects darker complexions such as Asian and Arabic skin types. Once the skin has been affected by these factors, it builds extra melanin cells at certain spots on the face.

What can I do to treat Melasma?

There are multiple solutions to treat to prevent Melasma. You can apply hydrating creams or serums to keep your skin healthy and protected from skin conditions at home. You can also apply sunscreen whenever you are exposed to the sun. Other topical solutions include skin brightening agents such as chemical peels and lightening creams.
