Why the topic matters in everyday dermatology
Melasma is a common reason people self-treat with brightening products. In India, some facial creams and combination products may contain topical corticosteroids. When potent steroids are used inappropriately or for too long on facial skin, patients can develop redness, acne-like eruptions, visible vessels, skin thinning and difficult rebound symptoms. Dermoscopy can help clinicians examine subtle vascular and pigment changes.
