WHAT IS MELASMA?
Melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation that causes uneven skin tone and dark patches. Melasma typically appears as brown or grayish patches on the face and is often linked to hormonal changes, pregnancy, or birth control use.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF MELASMA?
- Hormonal Fluctuations: Changes in estrogen and progesterone levels can trigger melasma.
- UV Exposure: Sun damage accelerates the appearance of melasma.
