Melasma
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark, discolored patches on the face, especially the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.
It’s often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or genetics.
Though harmless, melasma can affect confidence and appearance.
Treatments like chemical peels, topical lightening agents, and laser therapies help fade pigmentation and even out skin tone.
Overview And Clinical Background
Understanding Melasma
Melasma occurs when excess melanin is produced in certain skin areas, leading to brown or gray patches.
It’s more common in women, especially during pregnancy or while on hormonal therapy.
Though chronic, it can be effectively managed with dermatologic care.
Symptoms, Signs And Presentation
Patients notice symmetrical brown or gray patches on sun-exposed skin areas.
It doesn’t cause pain or itching but may worsen with heat or light exposure.
Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Clinical Evaluation
Melasma is diagnosed clinically through physical examination and sometimes with a Wood’s lamp to assess pigmentation depth.
Rarely, a skin biopsy is performed to rule out other conditions.
Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques
Treatment focuses on reducing pigmentation and preventing recurrence.
Topical creams, chemical peels, and laser treatments are used based on skin type and severity.
Recovery, Risks And Prognosis
Recovery is gradual; improvement is visible over several weeks.
Consistent sun protection is key to maintaining results.
With proper care, melasma can be well-controlled though occasional flare-ups may occur.
