Melasma; also known as ‘chloasma’ or ‘pregnancy mask’ is a common skin condition that develops in adults where brown or grey coloured patches of pigmentation develop on the skin, usually on the face.
Melasma is more noticeable in the summer as your skin is exposed to more sunlight and seems to improve during the winter months.
Melasma is not an infection of the skin and is not contagious. It is also not cancerous and will not develop into skin cancer.
