Melasma
What It Is:
Melasma is a type of hyperpigmentation often linked to hormonal fluctuations, such as during pregnancy or from birth control use. It usually appears on the face—most commonly the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip—as symmetrical, brown or greyish patches.
What It Looks Like:
Brown or grey-toned patches typically show up symmetrically across areas like the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip.
Treatment:
Consistent sunscreen use is crucial. Prescription options such as hydroquinone or tretinoin, along with treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy, can help reduce melasma’s visibility.
