What is Melasma?<\/h2>\n

Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or greyish-brown patches, usually on areas exposed to the sun – most often the cheeks, forehead, nose, upper lip, and chin.<\/p>\n

Melasma is more common in women, especially those with medium to darker skin tones, and often develops during periods of hormonal changes, such as pregnancy, oral contraceptive use, or hormone therapy. <\/p>\n

Common Causes and Triggers of Melasma<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Melasma occurs when melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in the skin, become overactive and produce too much melanin (the pigment that gives skin its colour).<\/p>\n

When your skin is exposed to sunlight, heat, or hormonal changes, your skin cells (called keratinocytes<\/strong>) send signals that trigger melanin-producing cells<\/strong> (melanocytes<\/strong>) to make more pigment. Over time, these signals become too active, leading to dark patches on the skin.<\/p>\n
