Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark patches to appear on the face. These patches are often brown or gray and can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Melasma is more common in women, especially during pregnancy or while taking birth control pills. It can also be triggered by sun exposure, stress, and certain medications.
What Causes Melasma?
The exact cause of melasma is unknown, but it is thought to be related to an increase in melanin production. Melanin is the pigment that gives skin its color. Several factors may contribute to melasma, including:
- Hormonal changes: Melasma is more common in women, likely due to hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, puberty, or while taking birth control pills.
- Sun exposure: Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can trigger or worsen melasma.
- Genetics: Some people may be genetically predisposed to developing melasma.
- Medications: Certain medications, such as anticonvulsants and tetracycline antibiotics, can increase the risk of melasma.
- Stress: Emotional stress may contribute to the development of melasma.
