What Is Melasma?
Melasma causes brown to gray-brown patches, primarily on the face. Most common in women aged 20-40, these symmetrical patches typically appear on cheeks, forehead, upper lip, nose, and chin.
Main Causes
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, birth control, HRT
- Sun Exposure: UV and visible light trigger melanocytes
- Genetics: 33% have family history
- Other Triggers: Heat, stress, certain medications
