What is Melasma? Causes and Treatment

 

Melasma is a very difficult and tricky skin condition to resolve. It appears as dark patches of pigmentation on the skin that often sneaks up onto a woman’s face. One day out-of-the-blue, she suddenly notices a dark shadow or “patch” appearing on her face. The hyperpigmentation can vary from wide and diffuse to a bunch of smaller dark spots (like freckles) that never bothered her before, that suddenly grow bigger and darker and merge into a single larger dark patch on her face.

Eczema Treatment Tips for Adult and Baby Eczema

 

Treating eczema, a condition whose cause remains unclear, can turn out to be a rather sensitive topic.

For one thing, most over-the-counter and doctor-prescribed treatments for eczema have been proven to be ineffective – not to mention expensive and laced with side effects.

That being said, it’s important to know how to prevent the evolution of mild cases of eczema and alleviate the pain caused by the more severe ones.

Eczema Treatment Tips for Adults

The truth is modern medicine still can’t pinpoint exactly what will work for the appearance of eczema rashes on your skin.
