While the exact cause of melasma isn’t fully understood, several factors contribute to its development. Sun exposure is a primary trigger, as ultraviolet (UV) rays stimulate melanin production. Hormonal changes, such as those experienced during pregnancy (often referred to as the “mask of pregnancy”), birth control use, or hormone replacement therapy, are also significant contributors. Additionally, genetics, certain medications, and skin irritation can play a role in its development.

What is Melasma?
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark, discolored patches to appear on the skin, typically on the face. These patches are usually brown or grayish-brown and often appear on areas that are frequently exposed to the sun, such as the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. Melasma occurs when the skin produces an excess of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color.
