Melasma is a dark spot that appears on the face, near the cheeks and forehead, being very common in pregnancy or in menopause due to hormonal changes. These alterations irritate the melanocytes that leave darker areas in certain areas of the face. These usually appear or worsen when the person stays exposed to the sun for a long time.
To counteract these damages, you should put daily sunscreen with maximum protection factor and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, as well as sources of heat, such as entering hot cars parked in the sun or use the oven. In addition to this you can place a cream or ointment to lighten the skin, hydroquinone being the indicated, however, it should not be used for more than 4 weeks.
