Melasma develops when melanocytes, the skin cells that produce pigment, become overactive. It causes brown or grayish-brown patches to appear on the face, most often on the nose, forehead, cheeks, and upper lip, and it commonly flares during the summer. Several factors can contribute to this increase in pigmentation, including:
• Sun exposure
• Hormones, pregnancy, birth control
• Certain medications
• Genetics and skin type
Chemical peels and medical-grade topical products are typically the most productive therapies for correction, but understanding and avoiding triggers is vital.
If you are struggling with melasma, the skin specialists at Warrenton Dermatology can help. Contact us at 540-341-1900 or visit WarrentonDermatology.com.
