Melasma is a common skin problem which results in brown to gray-brown patches, usually on the face. It is commonly found on cheeks, the bridge of their nose, forehead, chin, and above the upper lip. It also can appear on other parts of the body that get lots of sun, such as the forearms and neck.

One of the most common treatments for melasma is sun protection. This means wearing sunscreen every day and reapplying the sunscreen every 2 hours however sunscreen alone may not give you the protection you need.

Women are far more likely than men to get melasma. It is so common during pregnancy.
