Abstract

Melasma is a persistent hyperpigmentation condition that is most commonly seen in middle-aged women. The malar, central, and mandibular parts of the face are most affected by this condition, Factors that contribute to melasma’s etiology are still a mystery. Multifactorial causes are now widely accepted in these cases. In order to diagnose melasma and its variants, distinguish them from other pigmented illnesses, and keep track of treatment progress and side effects, several diagnostic tools are employed. The limited response and high recurrence rate make treating melasma difficult. Melasma can be treated with a variety of methods, including topical medicines, laser treatment, and injections. The objective of this article is to offer a concise overview of melasma diagnosis and management.Melasma treatment is a cosmetic challenge. Chemical, physical, and laser therapy are all options. .
