Melasma
Melasma is a common problem that causes pigmentation on the face. It usually appears as brown patches on cheeks, forehead, upper lip and nose bridge. Although, hormonal changes, such as during pregnancy or taking oral contraceptive pills, may contribute to the development of melasma, sunlight is still the main cause of melasma. Melasma is usually treated with a combination of therapies including topical and oral medication and lasers.
