Pigmentation is also called as melasma. A condition in which brown patches appear on the face.

There are two main causes of melasma: radiation, whether ultraviolet, visible light, or infrared (heat) light; and hormones. Ultraviolet and infrared radiation from the sun are key in making melasma worse.

A doctor can often diagnose melasma by looking closely at your face and neck.

 

There is no one best treatment for melasma
Often, the most effective treatment combines sun protection with medications and procedure.
