What is melasma?
Melasma Treatment: Melasma is a chronic skin disorder that results in symmetrical, blotchy brownish facial pigmentation. Melasma is most common in brown skinned females aged 25 – 50 years and is often genetic.
They are brown/black, with irregular borders, and are found on the forehead, both sides of the cheeks, nose, upper lips and jawline.
