Pigmentation and melasma are among the most common concerns we see at our dermatology clinic in Solapur, especially in people with Indian skin types. Pigmentation refers to dark patches or uneven skin tone caused by sun exposure, acne marks, inflammation, or hormonal changes. Melasma is a specific type of pigmentation that usually appears as brown patches on the cheeks, nose, or forehead, often influenced by hormones, heat and sunlight. While many over-the-counter creams promise quick lightening, inappropriate treatment can worsen pigmentation or make skin sensitive.

Why Professional Diagnosis Matters

Before planning treatment, it is important to identify the type of pigment, the depth of discoloration, and possible triggers such as sun exposure, screen light, stress or hormonal changes. At the clinic, treatment may include medical creams, sun protection, chemical peels, or selective laser procedures depending on skin sensitivity and pigmentation level. Melasma, especially, needs a gentle, long-term approach, as aggressive treatments can lead to rebound pigmentation. A dermatologist’s evaluation ensures that the right method is chosen for safe and gradual improvement.
