Four types of pigmentation patterns are diagnosed in melasma:
1. epidermal,
2. dermal,
3. mixed,
4.and an unnamed type found in dark-complexioned individuals.
The epidermal type is identified by the presence of excess melanin in the superficial layers of skin. Dermal melasma is distinguished by the presence of melanophages (cells that ingest melanin) through out the dermis. The mixed type includes both the epidermal and dermal type. In the fourth type, excess melanocytes are present in the skin of dark-skinned individuals.

Melasma is characterized by discoloration or hyperpigmentation primarily on the face.
Three types of common facial patterns have been identified in melasma, including
1. centrofacial (center of the face),
2. malar (cheekbones),
3.and mandibular (jawbone).
The centrofacial pattern is the most prevalent form of melasma and includes the forehead, cheeks, upper lip, nose, and chin. The malar pattern includes the upper cheeks. The mandibular pattern is specific to the jaw.
The upper sides of the neck may less commonly be involved in melasma. Rarely, melasma may occur on other body parts like the forearms. One study confirmed the occurrence of melasma on the forearms of people being given progesterone. This was a unique pattern seen in a Native American study.

Pregnant women have increased oestrogen, progesterone, and melanocyte-stimulating hormone levels during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy . Pregnancy-related Melasma may be caused by the presence of increased levels of progesterone and not due to oestrogen and MSH . Postmenopausal women receiving progesterone replacement therapy are more likely to develop Melasma; while postmenopausal women receiving oestrogen alone seem less likely to develop it. (

Products or treatments that irritate the skin may cause an increase in melanin production and accelerate Melasma symptoms.

People with a genetic predisposition or known family history of Melasma are at an increased risk of developing Melasma. 

Malesma Homemade Health tips

Homoeopathic medicines have shown very optimistic results in cases of Melasma. Homeopathy offers a comprehensive constitutional treatment, which gets to the root of the problem and helps build up immunity and in due course restores the pigmented patches back to the normal skin color. Homoeopathy considers Melasma as a local expression of a system disturbance. Homeopathy believes that skin disorders are a reflection of an internal imbalance and needs to be treated from within. Homeopathic constitutional approach takes care of hyperpigmentation along with treating the person as a whole and improving the general health of the patient. Homeopathic remedies treat the hormonal imbalance and control the excessive production of Melanin. This further improves the texture of the skin, reduces occurrence of new patches, and slowly reverts to its normal condition without leaving any blemishes.

As Homeopathy treats Melasma from within, when the constitutional treatment is completed satisfactorily, it is unlikely that the patches reappear again as compared to treatment with conventional medicines. Homeopathic remedies are natural, gentle, harmless and easy to take, are also regulated by the FDA and prepared according to the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States.
