Melasma is a skin condition that causes brown or grayish patches, most commonly on the face. It is triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, and genetics, making it more common in women, especially those with darker skin tones. The condition occurs when melanocytes, the skin’s pigment-producing cells, become overactive. Triggers like pregnancy, birth control, and heat exposure can worsen it. Without proper care and targeted treatments, the discoloration can become more pronounced over time, making early intervention for melasma treatment in Leesburg, FL, essential.
