What is melasma?

Melasma is a skin condition characterized by brown or gray-brown patches, typically on the face. It is caused by overproduction of melanin due to hormonal changes, sun exposure, or genetic factors. Common triggers include pregnancy, oral contraceptives, and sun damage.

How is melasma treated?

Treatment focuses on reducing hyperpigmentation and preventing further skin discoloration. Tranexamic acid is a proven treatment that works by inhibiting the production of melanin, offering an effective option for managing melasma.
