How is melasma formed and how to solve it

You can imagine how great an impact chloasma will have on your image if it appears on your face. The emergence of this problem is mainly due to the obstruction of the microcirculation between tissue cells, cell dissolution and death, and the increase of melanin to form pigmentation. In order to help everyone have a deeper understanding of this pigmentation problem, let us now learn about the causes of chloasma and how to remove it.

1. Causes of disease

The cause of the disease is still unclear. The disease is related to endocrine disorders of the ovaries, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, etc. It is often caused by pregnancy, oral contraceptives, menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, adnexitis, infertility, liver pain, alcoholism, hyperthyroidism, tuberculosis, etc. Light, cosmetics, genetics, race, nutrition and metabolism, and fatigue can all induce the disease, and sunlight exposure can aggravate the disease.

Let me explain here that 9% of women who take oral contraceptives for a long time are prone to chloasma , and some even develop facial spots one month after taking the pill. In addition, taking medicines for high blood pressure and diabetes and eating more photosensitivity foods such as celery, coriander, carrots, etc. can also easily cause chloasma. In this case, you need to stop taking the medicine immediately and pay attention to your daily diet. Eat more foods rich in vitamins C, E and protein, and less greasy and spicy foods.

2. Pathogenesis

The pathogenesis is still unclear, but it may be related to changes in ovarian function, with estrogen and progesterone increasing melanin production.

There are many reasons for the formation of melasma; both internal and external.

Internal factors: mental stress, depression, lack of sleep, constipation, chronic diseases, pregnancy, etc. Qi and blood imbalance, endocrine disorders, skin malnutrition and metabolic disorders lead to pigmentation and deposition, thus producing chloasma.

External factors: air pollution, dry climate, long-term sun exposure (ultraviolet radiation), use of poor quality cosmetics, long-term use of contraceptives, etc. can cause chloasma.

The above is a brief introduction to the causes and treatments of chloasma. I hope that through the above introduction, it can help everyone deepen their understanding of the pigmentation problem of chloasma. After this pigmentation problem occurs, targeted treatment measures can be taken in time to prevent the further spread of the pigmentation problem and bring greater harm to life and work.
