Melasma/Hyperpigmentation

Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown to grayish-brown patches on the cheeks, nose, forehead, chin, and upper lip. 90% of patients with melasma are women, and the condition is more common in people with darker skin types, such as those of Asian, Hispanic, Mediterranean, Indian, Middle Eastern, and North African descent.

Hyperpigmentation can also be seen after a traumatic event, known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

While over-the-counter options can be mildly helpful, Skin Medicinals provides much more cost-effective options for dermatologists and their patients by offering prescription-strength lightening creams.
