Melasma What is melasma? Melasma is a skin condition that causes patches and spots, usually on the face, which are darker than your natural skin tone. While common, melasma can be mistaken for another skin condition. Board-certified dermatologists have the expertise required to give you an accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment plan.
If something is triggering melasma, it may clear on its own. This often happens after a person gives birth or stops taking a medication that triggers the melasma. Sometimes, melasma stays around for years. If melasma bothers you, a dermatologist can talk with you about treatment options. Many treatment advances have been made in recent years.
