Melasma Treatment Near Oshiwara - Mumbai

Using sunscreen daily and still seeing the patches darken through the summer?

Sunlight is the obvious trigger, but heat itself plays a part in melasma, and that catches people out. Time near a stove, long commutes in traffic, hot showers and the general warmth of a Mumbai summer can all contribute, as can visible light coming through windows and from screens — which ordinary sunscreens were not originally designed to block. This is one reason melasma can worsen in months when someone feels they have been careful, and why the routine advised usually goes beyond a single product.

It may be considered if you have symmetrical brown or greyish patches across the cheeks, forehead, nose or upper lip that persist despite skincare. The approach differs if the pigmentation turns out to be post-acne marks, a tan or another pigmentary condition, so identification comes first. Some treatments are also deferred during pregnancy or where there is a recent tan.

At the consultation, the dermatologist examines the pattern and depth of the pigmentation, your skin type, hormonal and medical history, daily heat and sun exposure, and the products you are already using. Based on that individual assessment, a personalised treatment plan is discussed, including practical adjustments to protection.
