    What Is Melasma?

    Melasma, also known as ‘chloasma’ or the ‘mask of pregnancy’, is a skin condition characterised by dark and discoloured patches on the skin. It occurs when melanocytes are impacted by fluctuating estrogen and progesterone, increasing melanin production. This worsens with continual sun exposure. Though the condition predominantly affects women (in their reproductive years – 20-40 years – mainly those using medications that affect hormones), men are also at risk. It is also often mistaken for freckles.

    It appears on body parts most exposed to sunlight, including:

    • Upper arms
    • Shoulders
    • Nose
    • Upper lip
    • Forehead
    • Cheeks
    • Jawline
    • Neck (among older women)

    What Are The Types Of Melasma?

    Dermatologists classify melasma into three types based on the depth of pigmentation that they determine using Wood’s Lamp testing:

    Epidermal Melasma

    This appears on the top layer of the skin with defined borders and responds well to treatment.

    Dermal Melasma

    This appears slightly deeper in the dermis layer of the skin, blurred and in brown or blue shades. It can be challenging to treat.

    Mixed Melasma

    While this is the most common type of melasma, there is no guarantee that it can be completely treated. You will notice blue and brown patches in this type of melasma.

    What Causes Melasma?

    The common causes of melasma include:

    • Positive family history
    • Extreme and continual sun exposure
    • Pregnancy
    • Hypothyroidism
    • Use of oral contraceptives
    • Use of antibiotics, retinoids, diuretics
    • Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
    • Glucose deficiency
    • Targeted therapy for cancer
    • Antipsychotic, anti-seizure medications
    • Artificial estrogen
    • Over-exposure to LED lighting from electronics
    • Unsuitable skincare and makeup products
    • Frequent use of tanning beds

    People with dark skin tones, especially women, are more prone to melasma. Individuals with a family history of melasma and who go through prolonged sun exposure are also susceptible to this skin condition. Additionally, pregnancy and taking hormonal pills may add to the risk factors.

    Melasma is a harmless skin condition and does not aggravate to become cancer. However, skin discolouration can be a sign of cancer, and it is best to consult a dermatologist and rule out the risk.

    The occurrence and the appearance of melasma depend on the trigger. Pregnancy-induced melasma will go away with time. In most cases, melasma is chronic and lasts 3 months or more. Early intervention and timely treatment can prevent it from worsening.

    No, melasma is not a painful condition.

    There is no evidence of any foods causing or aggravating melasma. After analysing the severity of your melasma, your dermatologist may recommend foods rich in Vitamin D for your skin health.

    A layperson can confuse melasma for freckles, but both are different types of pigmentation and require specific treatments.
