Treatment & Types of Melasma in Pathardi, Nashik, Maharashtra

Treatment includes strict sun protection combined with topical lightening agents such as hydroquinone, retinoids, or azelaic acid to reduce pigmentation over time. Procedures like chemical peels or certain laser treatments may help in resistant cases, though they carry a risk of worsening pigmentation if not performed carefully.

Melasma is classified by the depth of pigment involved: epidermal melasma, where pigment sits in the upper skin layer and responds best to topical treatment, dermal melasma, where pigment lies deeper and is more resistant to treatment, and mixed melasma, involving both layers, which is the most common pattern; classification is usually assessed using a special UV light examination called a Wood's lamp.
