Melasma and chloasma are both forms of hyperpigmentation that appear as brown or greyish patches on the skin. They often occur on the face, particularly the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and chin. While the exact cause of melasma and chloasma is not fully understood, several factors contribute to their development: Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during pregnancy or while taking hormonal medications, can trigger melasma and chloasma. This is why they are sometimes referred to as “pregnancy masks. Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can stimulate the production of melanin and worsen the appearance of melasma and chloasma. Sun exposure without proper protection can lead to increased pigmentation. 1. Genetic Predisposition: Some individuals may be more genetically predisposed to developing melasma and chloasma.
