Pigmentation & Melasma Treatment Hospital in Himatnagar
Pigmentation means dark patches or uneven skin tone. Melasma – brown patches on the cheeks, forehead and upper lip – is very common in women and worsens with sun and hormonal changes. With sun protection and the right creams, pigmentation can be lightened safely. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, pigmentation is assessed and treated, avoiding harmful steroid and “fairness” creams.
Understanding the Condition
What Causes Pigmentation?
Sunlight, hormones (pregnancy, contraceptive pills), acne marks, some cosmetics and certain medicines increase skin pigment. Steroid-containing fairness creams may lighten skin briefly but cause thin skin, redness and worse pigmentation later.
Common Causes
