How is melasma formed? How to remove melasma

Chloasma, commonly known as freckles, is a pigmentation skin disease that usually appears on the face, showing light brown, brown, dark brown pigment spots or patches. Chloasma is also called "liver spots".

In fact, chloasma is not necessarily caused by liver disease. It has no direct connection with liver disease. The reason why it is called "liver spots" is just because the color of the spots is similar to the color of the liver, both are brown. Chloasma mostly occurs on the face and forehead. The size and shape vary. The surface is smooth and there is no discomfort, but it affects the beauty of the face.

Causes of Melasma:

1. Damage to the spleen and stomach

Improper diet, excessive fatigue, and picky eating are all causes of obstructed spleen and stomach function, which can lead to brown spots.

2. Bad mood

Emotional disorders, such as stagnation of liver qi, anger damaging the liver, worry damaging the spleen, and fear damaging the kidneys, can all cause qi and blood to become disordered and unable to reach the face, resulting in brown spots.

3. External wind evil

The skin surface is affected by wind (wind-heat, wind-cold), which leads to disharmony of Qi and blood. Qi and blood cannot reach the face and spots appear.

4. Loss of kidney essence

Excessive sexual intercourse will damage the Yin essence for a long time, or when people reach middle age, the kidney essence will be depleted and the face will not be moisturized, resulting in brown spots.

5. Pregnant women, women with irregular menstruation and some chronic patients

Tuberculosis, cancer, chronic alcoholism or liver disease, etc., especially in summer, chloasma becomes more obvious. If the patient develops chloasma due to pregnancy, most of them will slowly disappear after delivery.

Although chloasma has no direct relationship with liver disease, it may also lead to liver disease if you do not pay attention to conditioning. For example, bad mood will lead to liver qi stagnation and liver damage. In addition, chloasma is closely related to many gynecological diseases. The appearance of chloasma indicates that patients may have dysmenorrhea, uterine fibroids, uterine cancer and other diseases. Once you find that the number of chloasma on your face has increased, you should be alert to the disease signals sent by the body, adjust your work and rest in time, keep your mood happy, and go to the hospital in time. In addition, it is also necessary to ensure comprehensive nutrition and moderate diet.
