Melasma: Melasma is an acquired hyperpigmentation of the skin that typically affects the sun-exposed areas of the face. It is most common in women with darker complexions and often begins during pregnancy. Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30+ is recommended. Creams like hydroquinone, tretinoin, and fluocinolone can be used for treatment. Alt: Chemical peels or laser and light-based therapies
