Melasma and Its Homoeopathic Treatment

Introduction

Do you notice brown or greyish patches appearing on your face, especially on the cheeks, forehead, nose, or upper lip? This condition is known as Melasma—a common skin problem that affects both men and women, but is more frequent in women due to hormonal changes.

Although melasma is not harmful, it can cause cosmetic concern and affect self-confidence. At Homoeo Clinic, Dr. Dinesh Sharma provides gentle and effective homoeopathic treatment to manage melasma from the root and help restore your natural skin glow.

Causes & Triggers of Melasma

Medical Causes

• Hormonal imbalance (especially during pregnancy or with contraceptive pills)

• Thyroid disorders

• Genetic predisposition

• Increased melanin (pigment) activity in the skin

Lifestyle & Environmental Triggers

• Excessive sun exposure without protection

• Use of chemical-based cosmetics or skin creams

• Stress and lack of sleep

• Certain medications that increase sun sensitivity

• Nutritional deficiencies (Vitamin D, B12, iron)

Homoeopathic Approach to Melasma

Conventional treatments like chemical peels, laser therapy, or bleaching creams may give temporary lightening but often cause recurrence or side effects.

Homoeopathy works differently:

• Treats internal hormonal and metabolic imbalance that triggers melasma.

• Remedies are selected based on the patient’s constitution, skin type, and associated symptoms.

• Helps in gradual fading of patches without harming the skin.

• Aims to prevent recurrence and restore healthy skin tone naturally.

At Homoeo Clinic, Dr. Dinesh Sharma provides personalized prescriptions to address not only the skin pigmentation but also the underlying causes.
