What is Melasma?

Melasma (also called Chloasma or Mask of Pregnancy) is a common skin condition which causes a brownish-colored discoloration on the skin of the face. While the disorder doesn't cause other symptoms, women are often concerned with the cosmetic effects.

Melasma is often associated with the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. It is especially common in pregnant women, women who are taking oral contraceptives ("the pill"), and women taking hormone replacement therapy during menopause.

Your doctor can usually diagonse Melasma from looking at the color of your skin Some doctors may use a Wood's lamp for a closer look. Many cases of Melasma fade away a few months after childbirth or ending the hormone medications. There are several cosmetic treatments (such as bleaching creams, tretinoin cream, laser peels or topical steroids) that can fade the discoloration. However, the most important thing you can do to prevent or reduce the appearance of Melasma is to avoid sun exposure to the face using sunscreen or shade.
