Treating Melasma Holistically at mySkin

Melasma is a skin condition characterized by hyperpigmentation, leading to dark spots, especially on facial areas exposed to sunlight, known as “sun terraces” like the forehead, cheeks, and upper lip. Although more prevalent in women, it can also affect men.

Causes of Melasma:

Hormonal Factors

Pregnancy: Often termed “pregnancy mask,” hormonal changes during pregnancy contribute significantly to Melasma.
Contraceptives: The use of oral contraceptives can induce hormonal fluctuations, promoting Melasma.

Genetic Predisposition

A genetic predisposition can increase the likelihood of developing Melasma.

UV Radiation

Unprotected sun exposure is a significant trigger for Melasma, stimulating pigment production and worsening existing spots.

Skincare Products

Certain skincare products, especially those with irritating or photosensitizing ingredients, may contribute to Melasma development.
