What Is Melasma?

Melasma appears as darker, brownish, or gray-brown patches, usually occurring on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin. Many people notice these changes after significant hormonal fluctuations, such as those during pregnancy or through the use of oral contraceptives, though sun exposure is often the primary factor that makes these marks more prominent.

Living with these skin changes can be frustrating, especially since the patches do not simply fade on their own.

Understanding that this is a common physiological reaction to hormones and UV light may help take some of the weight off your experience.
