Melasma appears as dark, blotchy patches on the face, most commonly on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. Symptoms include uneven skin tone and brown or grayish discoloration that worsens with sun exposure or hormonal changes (like pregnancy or birth control use). Over-the-counter bleaching creams often irritate or worsen the patches. Dermatologists can provide tailored treatments such as prescription creams, chemical peels, or laser therapy for safe, lasting improvement.

Understanding Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that often causes facial redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small, red bumps that may look like acne.

Key Facts:

It usually affects the central face (cheeks, nose, chin, forehead).

Common triggers include hot drinks, spicy food, alcohol, sun exposure, stress, and temperature extremes.

Unlike acne, rosacea does not have blackheads.

Management options:
✔️ Topical or oral medications to reduce redness and bumps
✔️ Laser therapy for visible blood vessels
✔️ Lifestyle adjustments to avoid personal triggers
✔️ Daily sunscreen use (SPF 30+)

Rosacea may not have a cure, but with proper care and treatment, flare-ups can be minimized and confidence restored.

Let’s Talk About Hyperpigmentation — Why Those Dark Spots Appear and How to Treat Them”
‎
‎Noticed stubborn dark spots on your cheeks, forehead, or chin?
‎That’s called hyperpigmentation — and it’s one of the most common skin concerns we treat at the clinic.
‎
‎ What Causes It?
‎Acne scars — dark marks left behind after pimples heal
‎Sun damage — UV rays trigger melanin production, causing patches
‎Hormonal changes — especially in pregnancy or with birth control (melasma)
‎Skin injuries or reactions — burns, cuts, or harsh skincare products
‎
‎Why It Happens:
‎When your skin produces too much melanin in certain areas, it leads to uneven skin tone or dark patches.
‎
‎What Helps?
‎Random creams won’t fade it — some may even make it worse.
‎ Dermatologist-recommended treatments work best, like:
‎– Brightening serums (Vitamin C, niacinamide)
‎– Chemical peels
‎– Laser treatments (for stubborn cases)
‎– Daily sunscreen to prevent dark spots from getting worse
‎
‎ Good skincare starts with the right diagnosis!
‎ Book a skin consultation today and let’s create a treatment plan for your skin goals.
