What is Melasma & Hyperpigmentation?
Melasma, also known as chloasma or the “pregnancy mask,” is a common form of hyperpigmentation where tan or brown patches appear on the face, particularly during pregnancy. While melasma often fades after pregnancy, factors such as sunlight can worsen the condition. Hyperpigmentation, in general, is characterized by darker patches of skin caused by an increase in melanin production.
Various factors contribute to hyperpigmentation, including:
- Pregnancy & Hormonal Changes
- Sun Exposure
- Medications
- Health Conditions
Protecting your skin from sun exposure is critical to managing melasma and hyperpigmentation. This includes wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher), a broad-brimmed hat, and avoiding peak sun hours (10 a.m.–2 p.m.).
