MELASMA & PIGMENTATION
Melasma and hyperpigmentation are an acquired disorder of the skin typically affecting sun-exposed areas.
The Cause
Melasma and hyperpigmentation are caused by overproduction of pigment by melanocytes. Although the exact underlying cause of melasma is poorly understood, ultraviolet radiation, genetics, thyroid autoimmunity, hyper-estrogenism (pregnancy, birth control, etc.), and anti-epileptic medications are known to be contributing factors.
