Melasma is a chronic pigmentation disorder that creates symmetrical brown or gray-brown patches, typically on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and chin. Often called the “mask of pregnancy,” it is triggered by hormonal shifts combined with UV exposure and tends to be stubborn and recurrent.
Pigment in the upper skin layer; responds best to treatment.
Deeper pigment; slower to clear and more resistant.
Combination of epidermal and dermal melasma.
Cheeks, forehead, nose, upper lip, and chin (most common pattern).
