Melasma

Melasma is a common pigmentation disorder that causes brown or gray patches to appear on the skin, primarily on the face. Women with darker complexions and who are pregnant are at greater risk of developing melisma. Changes in hormones during pregnancy (chloasma), hormone treatment, or while taking birth control pills, sun exposure, certain skin care products, if they irritate a person’s skin are all considered as the triggering factors for causation of this condition.
