Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by the development of brown or gray-brown patches, typically on the face. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun is a major trigger for melasma. UV rays can stimulate the production of melanin (pigment), leading to the development of patches. Hormones play a significant role in melasma. It is commonly associated with pregnancy, contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy.
