What is
melasma?
Melasma is a natural

melanin. Melanin is the pigment that causes your skin to
tan. Melasma only occurs on the areas of your skin that are
exposed to the sun. It can be mild, moderate, or severe.
Treatment
There are different
prescription and over the counter products that can be used
alone or in combination to treat melasma.
If you are experiencing any of these signs or symptoms, call the Dermatology Center for Skin Health to schedule your appointment with Dr. Maouad. (304) 598-3888 |
