Acne can be triggered by hormonal changes, excess oil production, bacteria, and clogged pores. Treatment options range from topical retinoids and antibiotics to oral medications and professional procedures like chemical peels or laser therapy, depending on severity and skin type.

Melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation that appears as brown or gray-brown patches, often on the face. It’s commonly triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or pregnancy. Unlike other pigmentation issues, melasma can be more stubborn and may require specialized treatments like prescription creams, chemical peels, or laser therapy under dermatologic supervision.
