Melasma is a common skin condition where brown or gray-brown patches appear, usually on the face, but also on other parts of the body that get lots of sun. It’s more common in women, particularly during pregnancy, and in people with darker skin tones. Melasma is thought to be triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, and genetic predisposition.
Treatment involves reducing the appearance of the discoloration, which can be challenging and require a combination of treatments. Sun protection is the most important measure one can take. Topical lightening agents, chemical peels, and laser treatments can also help to lighten the patches of melasma.

Many skin conditions can be diagnosed and treated through teledermatology, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rashes. If we feel you need to have an in-person visit, we will recommend you to our network of dermatology providers.
Research has shown that teledermatology is generally as effective as in-person dermatology care for many skin conditions. However, there may be some limitations to what can be diagnosed and treated through teledermatology, and some patients may still require in-person care for more complex or severe conditions. If we feel you need to have an in-person visit, we will recommend you to our network of dermatology providers.
Typically it involves uploading photos of your skin condition, filling out a medical history questionnaire. If we have further questions our skincare clinical team will message you. The clinical team will then evaluate your condition and provide a diagnosis and treatment plan.
