    Melasma

    Melasma is an acquired hyperpigmentation of sun exposed areas. It presents as symmetric, dark spots with irregular, serrated and geographic margins; most commonly over forehead, nose and cheeks. It is mainly seen in women though not uncommon in males. It is quite common in pregnant females due to hormonal changes.

    Causative factors include:

    ● Exposure to sunlight

    ● Drugs like OCP or HRT

    ● Increase in melanin synthesis genes
