What’s the best treatment for melasma?

Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or greyish patches, usually on the face. It is more common in women but can occur in men also. It does not cause any physical symptoms. Although the exact cause not well known, it is often triggered by hormonal changes (especially in pregnancy), sun exposure, certain medications. It is more common in people of colour and if there is a family history of the condition. While melasma is not harmful, it can be difficult to treat. The best approach depends on the severity of the pigmentation and the patient’s skin type.
