Melasma is a skin condition characterised by brown patches of pigmentation that develop when melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) in the skin produce excess melanin. Contributing factors include genetics, hormonal changes (often seen during pregnancy), UV exposure, certain cosmetics, and some medications. While treatments can improve melasma, it may return with continued exposure to these triggers.

This condition typically affects the face, with common areas including the forehead, cheeks, and upper lip. It may appear as a single patch or multiple areas, with three main patterns of distribution. The centrofacial pattern is the most common. Treatment plans are carefully tailored to address the severity of melasma, prevent the worsening of existing patches, and reduce the likelihood of new ones forming.
