Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by dark, discolored patches, typically on the face. It often appears on areas such as the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. Commonly triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, and certain medications, melasma can affect anyone but is particularly common in women.
Coral Dermatology
Understanding the specific cause of your melasma enables us to create a tailored treatment plan for effective, long-lasting results.
Melasma can occur due to various factors. Identifying the underlying cause is essential for effective treatment. Some common causes include:
UV rays stimulate melanin production, intensifying melasma on the face and other exposed areas.
Pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormone therapy can trigger melasma due to hormone fluctuations.
A family history of melasma may increase a person's susceptibility to developing this condition.
Dark Patches
on the Face
Melasma commonly appears as brown or gray-brown patches on areas like the cheeks, nose, forehead, chin, and upper lip.
Symmetrical
Pattern
The patches often appear symmetrically on both sides of the face.
Discoloration on
Sun-Exposed Areas
Besides the face, melasma can also develop on other sun-exposed areas, such as the neck and forearms.
Coral Dermatology
