Melasma Treatment

The skin condition called melasma causes flat, brownish or blue-grey spots to form on the skin, often on the face. It is more common in women than in men and affects adults. Melasma is also known as chloasma, or the mask of pregnancy. One common risk factor is exposure to the sun. Chronic melasma is a pigmentary illness that waxes and wanes and frequently does not respond to therapy.
