Treatment methods for melasma: diet therapy, tea, and facial mask

Melasma is commonly known as "butterfly spots", "liver spots" or "pregnancy spots". It mainly occurs on the face, mainly on the zygomatic region, cheeks, nose, forehead and chin. It is brown or black patches with unclear borders, mostly symmetrical.

The appearance of chloasma is mostly related to endocrine, especially the estrogen level in women. Chloasma may occur due to irregular menstruation, pregnancy, taking birth control pills, poor liver function and chronic kidney disease. In addition, sun exposure and mental factors can aggravate the disease. Pregnant women often develop chloasma after 3 months of pregnancy, and in most cases, the condition gradually disappears when menstruation returns to normal after delivery.
