What is Melasma?
Hello, I see you are asking "What is melasma?" Melasma is a skin condition characterized by brown or blue-gray patches or freckle-like spots. It's often called the “mask of pregnancy.” Melasma happens because of overproduction of the cells that make the color of your skin. It is common, harmless and some treatments may help.

How do you treat melasma?
Melasma is treated with a variety of skin creams such as hydroquinone, tretinoin, and corticosteroids. It can also be treated with chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and dermabrasion.
What creams would be helpful to control or treat melasma?
The exact causes are unknown, but there are genetic factors at work, and melasma is made worse by exposure to sunlight. It is very important for people with melasma to use sunscreen. There is no real cure for melasma at the moment-- just management. Creams that contain lightening agents (for example hydroquinone, kojic acid, and retinoids) may be helpful in treating melasma, as may chemical peels or laser therapy. Azeleic acid may help control but not cure melasma. It has a skin brightening affect that may help fade dark marks but it is not generally the first line treatment.
What are the symptoms of Melasma?
The most common symptoms of Melasma are appearance of brown and gray brown patches on the face. Some people also get these patches on the neck and arms.

Yes, it can.
Does alcohol cause melasma?
Alcohol consumption itself does not directly cause melasma, a skin condition characterized by dark patches on the skin. However, alcohol can exacerbate existing skin conditions by increasing inflammation and affecting hormone levels, potentially leading to worsening of melasma in some individuals. It is important to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.
Is there a birth control pill that does not cause melasma?
The progestin-only pills are less likely to cause melasma. The copper IUD is non-hormonal, and may be another option for you.
Does melasma go away?
Creams containing tretinoin, kojic acid, and azelaic acid have been shown to improve the appearance of melasma. Occasionally, your doctor may recommend chemical peels or topical steroid creams. In severe cases, laser treatments can be used to remove the dark pigment. Avoiding the sun and using sunscreen are key to preventing melasma. Often when birth control, menapausal supplemental hormones, or pregnancy resolve, it fades away naturally.
