Melasma, Acne & Scar
Melasma
Melasma is a common skin condition characterized by the appearance of brown or grayish-brown patches on the face, typically on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. It is more common in women and often occurs during pregnancy (chloasma or "mask of pregnancy") or with the use of oral contraceptives. Sun exposure and hormonal changes are significant triggers for melasma.
Acne:
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can result in the formation of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, or nodules. Acne often affects teenagers but can persist into adulthood, and it can be exacerbated by hormonal fluctuations, stress, and certain medications.
Scars:
Scarring can result from various injuries or inflammatory skin conditions, including acne. The appearance of scars can range from flat and pale to raised and red or brown. The severity and type of scar depend on factors such as the depth of the injury and the individual's healing process.
