What is Melasma?

Melasma is a condition related to skin characterised by dark, irregular patches that often appear on the face. It occurs when melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour, is overproduced. This can lead to pigmentation issues, primarily on areas like the cheeks, forehead and upper lip. While not harmful, it can affect self-esteem, making it essential to treat promptly.

Common Causes

  • Internal factors: Hormonal fluctuations due to pregnancy, contraceptives or thyroid problems.
  • External factors: Sun exposure, certain skincare products and stress can trigger melasma.
  • Medical conditions: A family history of melasma or issues with the adrenal glands can increase susceptibility.

Types of Melasma

Epidermal Melasma

Epidermal melasma is when excess pigment forms in the outer layer of skin. It’s mainly caused by sun exposure and hormonal changes, leading to dark patches, especially on the cheeks and forehead. This type generally responds well to treatments like topical creams and laser therapy, providing quicker and visible results.

Dermal Melasma

Dermal melasma occurs deeper in the skin’s dermal layer, making it harder to treat. Hormonal shifts like pregnancy or oral contraceptives often trigger this form. Pigmentation appears darker and more persistent. More advanced treatments, such as laser therapy, are often necessary to treat this type effectively.

Mixed Melasma

It is a combination of both epidermal and dermal melasma. It affects the outer and deeper layers of the skin, making it one of the most difficult to treat. The pigmentation is stubborn and may require a combination of treatments such as laser therapy, topical creams and other targeted therapies.
