Melasma occurs much more often in women than in men, and usually is associated with hormonal changes. That is why the dark patches develop most often during pregnancy, or if a woman is taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or oral contraceptives. Melasma during pregnancy is relatively common. Sometimes it is called the "mask of pregnancy." The dark patches typically last until the pregnancy ends. Despite the strong connection to hormones, no one knows exactly what causes the skin discoloration.

The brown patches are attributed to an increased amount of pigment in the skin. The pigment may be located superficially in the epidermis (epidermal melasma), deeply in the dermis (dermal melasma), or a combination of both.

Melasma can be mild, moderate or severe, depending on how much of your face is discolored and how much darker than normal your skin has become.

Other factors that make it more likely that a person will get melasma include using medications that make you sensitive to the sun (photosensitizing). These can include some cosmetics and medicines used to treat ovarian or thyroid problems. If you are already susceptible to melasma, exposure to the sun increases your risk. For example, women who are pregnant or who take a hormone medication and avoid the sun are less likely to develop melasma than are those who spend a lot of time in the sun.

The best way to prevent melasma is to limit skin exposure to the sun. If you go out in the sun, take these preventive measures:

Wear a hat with a brim to shade and protect your face.
Apply sun block (such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) to vulnerable areas.
Use sunscreen that protects against both ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B radiation. The sunscreen should have a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15.

SYNONYMS

Chloasma
Mask of pregnancy

SYMPTOMS Melasma doesn't cause any other symptoms besides skin discoloration but may be of great cosmetic concern.

A uniform brown color is usually seen over the cheeks, forehead, nose, or upper lip. It is most often symmetrical (matching on both sides of the face).
