MELASMA
Melasma is a brown patch on the face. The color is usually homogenous however it can be blotchy at times. It results from exposure to sunlight and not wearing sunscreen. It is also associated with patients taking oral contraceptive pills and pregnancy. Common treatment options include topical bleaching creams like Triluma or Obagi, chemical peels or even lasers. Sunscreen with physical blocking agents like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide is imperative to prevent worsening or future recurrence of melasma.
