Melasma Treatment
 Karen R. Stolman, M.D. Board Certified Dermatologist |
Melasma, commonly known as the “mask of pregnancy,” is a skin discoloration found on the cheeks, upper lip, around the eyes and sometimes on the forehead.
While melasma is a condition common in pregnant women and women who take oral contraceptives, 10% of cases are men.
Melasma is believed to be caused by hormonal changes which may make the skin more likely to develop dark patches of pigment when exposed to sunlight. Sun avoidance is paramount to recovery and prevention of melasma.
While it is not dangerous, it can be a concern to those with the condition. While to date, there is no perfect cure for melasma, Dr. Stolman offers several treatment options for controlling the melasma that includes laser, light, and topical remedies that are not available at most other dermatologists offices. Give us a call today to discuss how we can help.
