Melasma

What is melasma?

Melasma is a pigmentation condition that causes dark or brown patches, mainly on the face. It commonly affects areas such as the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and chin, and may be associated with hormonal factors and sun exposure.

What specialist do I need to treat melasma?

The appropriate specialist is a dermatologist, who can evaluate the pigmentation and determine the most suitable treatment. Depending on each case, treatment may include skin-lightening products, chemical peels, laser treatments, or other dermatological procedures.

When should I see a specialist for melasma?

A medical evaluation is recommended when persistent dark patches appear on the face or when pigmentation becomes more noticeable or does not improve with usual skin care. Treatment should be tailored to the person's skin type and the characteristics of the melasma.
