Melasma, known for its brownish-gray patches, typically appears on facial areas such as the forehead, above the upper lip, and on the cheeks. This pigmentary phenomenon, closely related to hormonal changes and other factors, tends to be more common during pregnancy or in women using contraceptives, but it can affect anyone.
Given its connection to hormonal changes, melasma can be resistant to treatment in some cases, requiring specific approaches, particularly in more mature skin. A dermatologist specializing in melasma , after a thorough clinical and dermatoscopic evaluation, will select the most appropriate treatment to address the spots and minimize their impact.
