Melasma
Melasma is a condition in which the skin darkens, unevenly, on sun exposed areas. It most commonly occurs on the cheeks, forehead and upper lip. It is the result of genetic predisposition, hormonal influences including child birth, birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy. When it happens associated with pregnancy, some have called it "chloasma" or "mask of pregnancy". For some unknown reason, certain areas of the skin are sensitized to get darker with sun exposure. Melasma really is nothing more than certain areas of the skin getting a sun tan faster than other areas. Treatment is designed to lighten the areas, and most importantly, sun protect those areas so they don't re-darken with subsequent sun exposure.

At Crutchfield Dermatology we will design a prescription strength, customized program to treat your melasma and prevent it's recurrence.
