Melasma
What Is Melasma?
Melasma is a common skin issue that results in brown/grey spots or patches appearing on the face or body. Essentially, it is a pigmentation disorder that generally affects women with darker complexions. It has also been noticed to occur with pregnant women. In these cases, it is referred to as chloasma.
Melasma is most likely to occur on the face, either on the forehead, cheeks, nose or chin. However, there have also been a number of cases where the dark patches have appeared on legs, arms or chest. Typically, this skin condition occurs on areas of the body that are exposed to large amounts of sun. Even though it is highly more likely to occur in women with darker skin colour, there have been some instances where it has been seen on lighter skin tones. Generally, however, it is evident on women with darker complexions. The symptoms of melasma are not to be confused with that of hyperpigmentation, which is more so in relation to breakouts of freckles that expand across the skin. As noted above, melasma (or chloasma) is common amongst pregnant women. It is understood, in these cases, that melasma is a result of increased levels of progesterone in the body.
According to much research, melasma can also be the result of birth control pills, thyroid diseases and hormone therapy. Basically, any dramatic changes in hormonal balance have the potential to trigger a case of melasma. More research is still being conducted into the specific breakdown of how melasma appears on skin. However, the most noted cause of melasma is sun exposure. In these circumstances, the ultraviolet rays affect the cells that control pigment and result in the dark brown or grey patches.
