When your skin experiences hyperpigmentation of any kind, the most common treatment is regular skin care.

Can Melasma Be Cured?Īt this time, there is no treatment that can fully cure melasma once sun exposure has taken place. Incorporating sun protection into your daily routine can prevent new or worsening melasma symptoms. Ask your provider for recommendations on the best sunscreen for your skin. These ingredients protect against UVA and UVB sunrays and can provide you with maximum skin protection. It is best to use a chemical or mineral sunscreen that contains titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. In order for chemical sunscreens to protect you from UVA rays, they must contain specific ingredients that block the entire UV spectrum to ensure your skin is protected against all forms of sun damage.

However, certain types of sunscreen can be effective for preventing and managing melasma. Even sunscreens that are marketed as “broad-spectrum” protection can lack the necessary chemicals to block exposure to UVA rays. Unfortunately, most commercial sunscreens do not block UVA rays from harming your skin. Prevention is the most important step you can take to minimize hyperpigmentation. These triggers can aggravate existing symptoms of melasma and affect the appearance of your skin. Some of the most common triggers for melasma include: Specific triggers in your body can make the brown patches darker and more noticeable, as well. Once you have developed melasma, the brown splotches on your skin can worsen with continued exposure or co-existing conditions.
