Q. Will I develop melasma from using skin care products at a young age?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.

Melasma is hyperpigmentation of the face and sun-exposed areas, and when induced by pregnancy, it is called chloasma. It is common in women, especially in their reproductive years. The exact cause is not known. Pregnancy, oral contraceptives, endocrinal dysfunction, medications, nutritional deficiency, and hepatic dysfunction are all said to contribute. It is exacerbated by exposure to sunlight and artificial UVA (ultraviolet A) and UVB. So in your case, I do not think any of the factors are present. The main cause of the condition is endocrinal dysfunction, which leads to hormonal imbalance. It can occur in any female with menstrual irregularities.

I hope this will help you.

Thank you.
