Melasma
“There are brown patches on my cheeks that keep coming back.”
Irregular brown or grey-brown patches that appear symmetrically on both sides of the face, most often over the cheekbones, the forehead and the bridge of the nose, and sometimes above the upper lip or along the jaw. They tend to deepen after sun or heat and may lighten a little in cooler months.

Why it happens
Melasma, explained plainly.
Melasma is a chronic pigment disorder in which the cells that make melanin become overactive in certain areas of the face. Pregnancy, hormonal contraception, a family tendency, sunlight, visible light and heat are all recognised triggers. Because warmth as well as ultraviolet light can stimulate it, the Gulf climate can make melasma harder to keep under control. It tends to fade and return, which is why it is managed over time rather than cured once.
