Hyperpigmentation (Melasma)

Hyperpigmentation affects many individuals, but the reasons vary widely and have the appearance of brownish patches of skin in areas like the face, neck and chest. The medical term for hyperpigmentation is “Melasma.”

Essentially, it is a condition where the melanin production is too high in some areas of skin. Sunlight often makes this condition worse, thus doctors usually instruct patients to wear strong sunscreen.
