Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark patches to develop on the face, most often on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. It occurs due to an overproduction of pigment (melanin) in the skin, leading to brown or grayish discoloration. At Embrace Dermatology, we provide personalized treatment plans to help reduce pigmentation, even out skin tone and prevent future discoloration.
