Melasma is a skin pigment disorder that appears on the face of adults as brown patches. Both sides of the face are involved, especially the cheeks, the nose bridge, the front, and the upper lip. In just a few of the areas above, some patients may be mildly involved. This disease is particularly common in people with darker types of skin.
It is challenging to treat Melasma. But in First Medical Center, the healthcare provider will first understand what causes melasma to determine a treatment plan. Dermatologists can give a diagnosis in most patients. Melasma can sometimes look like another skin disease. Dermatologists may need to remove a small piece of skin to rule out another skin conditions. That is what a skin biopsy is called.
Causes of Melasma:
Medical experts do not fully understand the reason for the cause of Melasma. However, it may be possible due to the melanocytes’ malfunction in the skin, resulting in excessive colors—moreover, the hormonal status change, especially pills for pregnancy and birth control can be the causing agents.
Candidates:
When you have skin patches, although it does not cause other physical signs, the appearance of these patches is troubling for some people. Due to its characteristic appearance, a dermatologist with a skin examination can usually diagnose melasma quickly.
