I developed melasma patches during pregnancy. Is melasma related to hormonal changes, and will these patches fade on their own or do I need treatment to get rid of them?

Yes, melasma is a hormonal-triggered condition that occurs especially during pregnancy or with birth control pills. While the discolouration may fade slightly after delivery, it often needs medical treatment to significantly reduce it. You can prevent it from worsening by consistently protecting your skin from sun exposure.
