Melasma is a form of benign skin pigmentation.
How to identify melasma: If you notice brown patches on your face with well-defined borders, and they don’t cause any discomfort (no burning, itching, etc.), you are likely dealing with melasma.
What causes melasma?
Hormonal imbalances or changes (especially common during pregnancy or significant weight gain/loss),
Gastrointestinal disorders,
Lack of SPF protection.
Where does melasma correction and treatment begin?
The first step is identifying the underlying cause. Without addressing internal issues, no topical product, no matter how powerful, will provide the desired effect.
You will need to undergo medical tests to check your hormones and consult both an endocrinologist and a gastroenterologist for proper guidance.
