Melasma is a skin disorder and is also known as ‘chloasma’ or ‘mask of pregnancy’. Melasma is associated with dark patches of skin which gradually develop on cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. Melasma is more common in women and is associated with pregnancy and certain medications that contain hormones. Melasma seems to develop in about 60% of pregnant women but can also occur in men. Melasma is most common in Asians and in those with dark skin complexion.
Even though many women develop an enormous amount of mental anguish over this skin disorder, melasma is completely harmless. The majority of cases of melasma spontaneously disappear- this means that you do not have to go to unscrupulous doctors who now offer treatments for a condition which resolves on its own.
