Short answer

Skincare for melasma centres on consistent light protection, gentle products, and a treatment plan that avoids triggering more pigment.

This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

How melasma behaves

Melasma causes flat brown or grey-brown patches, often on the cheeks, forehead, nose or upper lip. Sunlight and visible light can deepen the colour, while heat, irritation and hormonal changes may influence its course. It is different from a simple surface stain, so aggressive rubbing can be counterproductive.

Support the skin every day

Use a gentle cleanser, moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen; a tinted product may help provide visible-light protection when recommended. Introduce pigment-targeting products slowly and stop products that sting or cause persistent redness. A dermatologist can discuss [Skin Brightening Treatment](/treatments/aesthetic-procedures/skin-brightening-treatment/), [Chemical Peel](/treatments/aesthetic-procedures/chemical-peel/), [Microneedling](/treatments/aesthetic-procedures/microneedling/) or [Laser Toning](/treatments/laser-and-energy/laser-toning/) after considering your skin type and history.

When to seek an assessment

See a dermatologist if facial patches are new, spreading, one-sided, itchy, scaly, painful or changing in another way. Seek advice before treatment during pregnancy or while using medicines that may affect pigmentation. Related concerns include [Dark Patches On Skin](/symptoms/dark-patches-on-skin/), [Uneven Skin Tone](/symptoms/uneven-skin-tone/) and [Sun-Damaged Skin](/conditions/photoaging/).

Questions to bring

Could this be melasma or another cause of dark patches? Which sunscreen and active ingredients fit my skin? What should I do if treatment causes irritation or darker marks?

Questions people ask

Can scrubbing remove melasma?

No. Melasma is pigment within the skin, and scrubbing may inflame the area and make the patches look darker.

Can melasma return after it improves?

It can recur when triggers such as light exposure or irritation continue, so maintenance protection matters.
