What Causes Facial Pigmentation
Melasma shows up as brown or greyish patches, usually on both cheeks, the forehead, the nose or above the lip. Sun and heat are the biggest triggers, and hormones play a big role: it often appears in pregnancy or with hormonal pills.
Other pigmentation comes from old acne marks, rubbing, or irritation from products. The type matters, because the approach differs.
The Cream Warning
Some over-the-counter creams contain steroids. They lighten the skin briefly, then cause thinning, redness and worse pigmentation. This is a common problem, and it's hard to undo.
- Fairness or 'instant glow' creams bought over the counter
- Any cream with a steroid in it, unless a doctor prescribed it for a short time
- Home bleaching and lemon juice on the face
- Harsh scrubs and peels done at home
How We Treat Pigmentation
Dr. Chhavi looks at when the patches appeared, what makes them darker, your periods and hormones, sun exposure and the products you've used. The remedy is chosen for your pattern.
Pigmentation fades slowly, so steady treatment and daily sun care go together. More on our skin treatment.
- Broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, even indoors near windows
- Reapply if you're outdoors for long
- A hat or dupatta in strong sun
- Avoid sitting close to heat, like a stove or heater, for long
Hormones and Pigmentation
Melasma is closely linked to hormones. It often starts in pregnancy, with hormonal pills, or alongside thyroid problems or PCOD. If your periods are irregular or you have other hormonal symptoms, it's worth looking at the whole picture. See hormonal imbalance.
