Melasma Information
Melasma, otherwise known as "the mask of pregnancy," is a skin disorder effecting up to six million American women. Moreover, nearly 50% of pregnant women show some signs of hyperpigmentation issues including melasma or chloasma. In fact, pregnancy is the most common cause of melasma, which is why the skin condition is commonly known as the Mask of Pregnancy. Dark patches of skin on the face as seen in melasma are most common in women of childbearing age. Hormone replacement therapy, Oral contraceptives & birth control medication along with sun exposure are other causes of melasma. Hispanics and Asians, with darker skin types, are at higher risk for the condition. Melasma is nine times more common in women than in men.

Melasma causes irregular tan, brown, or even blue/black patches on parts of the face including cheeks, forehead, nose, chin, jaw line, and upper lip. It is most often symmetrical (matching on both sides of the face).
