Melasma
Melasma is a common disorder of cutaneous hyperpigmentation and is often
associated with the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. It is especially
common in pregnant women (sometimes called 'the mask of pregnancy'), women
taking oral contraceptives, and women taking hormone replacement therapy during
menopause.
Though it can affect anyone, young women with brownish skin tones are at
greatest risk. It generally consists of brown spots/patches on both sides of the
face, especially on the cheeks, upper lips, nose and chin.
A combination of over the counter bleaching and exfoliation products, along with sun protection
can be helpful in treating some types of melasma. Occasionally, your dermatologist may add chemical peels or topical
steroid creams as well. In severe cases, laser treatments can be used to remove
the dark pigment.
