Melasma is a skin condition where you will experience brownish, blue, or grey patches, mainly on the face. It is more common among adult women than men. It is also known as the mask of pregnancy or chloasma. Getting medical attention at the right time is necessary as it can become unresponsive to treatment. It aggravates with time and worsens with regular sun exposure.

What Are The Types Of Melasma?
Melasma can be classified into three main types based on the layer of the skin it impacts:
- Epidermal melasma, which affects the top-most layer of the skin
- Dermal melasma appears in the deeper layers
