What is Melasma?
Melasma is a skin condition characterized by symmetrical, brown or greyish patches, most commonly found on the face. It is often triggered by:
• Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, birth control use)
• Sun exposure
• Genetic factors
It is more common in women but can also affect men.
What Hormones Cause Melasma?
Melasma is closely linked to hormonal fluctuations, particularly:
• Estrogen
• Progesterone
• Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (MSH)
These hormones can increase melanin production, especially when
combined with UV exposure, leading to the development of melasma
patches.
What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is a broader term for any skin discoloration caused by excess melanin production. It can occur due to:
• Sun damage
• Post-inflammatory changes (acne scars, skin injuries)
• Certain skin conditions
Unlike melasma, hyperpigmentation can appear anywhere on the body and is not always symmetrical.
