The Signs and Symptoms of Melasma

Melasma causes patches of discoloration. The patches are darker than your typical skin color. It typically occurs on the face and is symmetrical, with matching marks on both sides of your face. Other areas of your body that are often exposed to sun can also develop melasma. 

Brownish colored patches usually appear on the: 
· Cheeks
· Forehead
· Bridge of the nose
· Chin

It can also occur on the neck and forearms. The skin discoloration doesn't do any physical harm, but you may feel self-conscious about the way it looks.

If you notice these symptoms of melasma, see your dermatologist, who is a doctor that specializes in treating skin disorders.
