Melasma treatment in Acapulco

Chloasma, also known as melasma, is a change in skin pigmentation that produces brown or grayish patches, especially on the face. It appears when certain areas produce more pigment than usual.

Where it usually appears: cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and the bridge of the nose, generally in a symmetrical pattern.

Associated factors: sun exposure, hormonal changes—such as those of pregnancy—and individual predisposition.

Which specialist treats it? Its assessment falls to the dermatologist, and in the context of hormonal changes it can also be guided by the gynecologist. If these patches concern you or change in appearance, having them checked by a professional is the best way to clear up any doubts.
