What should you know about Jenna Dewan melasma?

Melasma produces flat brown, tan, or grey-brown patches, often across the cheeks, forehead, nose, upper lip, or jaw. It is not contagious and is not a sign that the skin is dirty. Sunlight and visible light can deepen pigment, while hormonal changes and irritating products may contribute. The pattern can resemble other causes of dark patches, so an examination helps distinguish melasma from other pigmentation problems.

Use broad-spectrum sunscreen, shade, and a hat consistently, and reapply sunscreen when outdoors. Choose gentle, fragrance-free skincare and stop products that sting or burn. A dermatologist may discuss prescription pigment medicines or procedures such as Chemical Peel, Microneedling, Skin Brightening Treatment, or Laser Toning. These options require careful selection because inflammation after a procedure can make pigmentation more noticeable, especially in deeper skin tones.

Arrange a dermatology assessment when facial patches are new, changing, itchy, scaly, painful, or different from the surrounding pattern. Seek prompt care for pigment that bleeds, crusts, forms an open sore, or changes rapidly. A clinician can assess dark patches on skin and uneven skin tone rather than assuming every patch is melasma.

Ask whether the pattern fits Melasma, which light sources may be worsening it, and whether any current skincare is irritating your skin. Discuss expected improvement, maintenance treatment, procedure risks for your skin tone, and what to do if pigment darkens after treatment.
