What Is Melasma?
Melasma typically presents as brown or gray-brown patches on the skin, particularly on areas of the face that are exposed to sunlight. Commonly appearing on the forehead, cheeks, nose, and upper lip, these patches can vary in size and shape. The distinct pigmentation is a result of an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color.
What Causes Melasma?
The exact cause of Melasma is not fully understood, but factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and hormonal fluctuations are believed to contribute to its development.
Fluctuations in Hormones – Changes in hormonal levels, notably the rise in estrogen associated with menopause, birth control, and pregnancy, can stimulate an upsurge in melanin production
Sun Exposure – UV rays trigger melanin production, resulting in the development of either a tan or patches of pigmentation
Genetics – A family history of melasma, can influence its development.
