Understanding Discolored Patches on Your Face: Causes and Prevention
Discolored patches on the face, often seen on the upper lip, cheeks, or forehead, can be concerning. These patches, known as melasma, affect both men and women, despite the common belief that only women are affected. Let’s explore why these patches form and how you can prevent them.
What Causes Discolored Skin Patches?
The skin’s color comes from melanin, a pigment produced by cells called melanocytes. Sometimes, these cells become overly active and generate more melanin than necessary. This can be triggered by factors such as:
- Phototoxic Reactions: Certain products, when exposed to sunlight, can cause allergic reactions. Hair dyes are an example of phototoxic products.
- Hormonal Changes: Conditions such as pregnancy or the use of birth control pills can stimulate melanocytes to produce excess melanin, leading to melasma.
- Other Factors: Hormonal imbalances and specific allergies can also contribute to these colored patches.
Importance of Sun Protection
Sun exposure is a major factor in activating melanin production. To prevent discolored patches, it’s crucial to protect your skin from the sun as much as possible. Use sunscreen and seek shade to minimize sun damage and keep melasma at bay.
