Trivia & myth busters

Myth

Melasma can be cured by any fairness cream.

Fact

No fairness creams are going to cure the Melasma. Melasma can only be maintained/ managed but not completely cured.

Myth

Sun exposure triggers Melasma.

Fact

Sun exposure does not trigger Melasma. The root cause of these dark patches is hormones (Although the cycle is not fully understood). The sun can only exacerbate / increase the severity of Melasma. That is why not all exposed to the same amount UV intensity develop Melasma. Only a few whose hormones are pre-disposed to Melasma, develop these dark patches. Melasma may also develop as a side effect to certain drugs, contraceptives or chemicals. On discontinuation the skin colour, may reverse.
