What Exactly is Melasma?

Lifestyle Changes To Help With Melasma

There is not much a patient can do to prevent melasma if they already have it, but they can stop melasma from becoming so dark they cannot handle the way it looks. Patients should always protect their skin in the sun because UV rays cause skin cells to darken, this is why so many people notice their melasma is worse in the summer. Wearing sunscreen, hats, and long clothing while outdoors is one of the simplest ways to ensure skin is protected from the sun. Sunglasses are also helpful if a person notices their melasma is more prevalent around the eyes.
