Subject: A Survey to assess epidemiology and Treatment Practices in Management of Melasma among Dermatologists in India
In India, pigmentation disorders cause psychosocial effects that can lead to repercussions on the quality of life. Pigmentary disorders were also reported in a study among 10.8% of adult patients attending dermatology clinic at a hospital in Western India. The common presentations were hyperpigmentation, melasma, indistinct pigmented macules and periorbital hyperpigmentation. The most common clinical diagnosis of facial melanoses is Melasma (chloasma). Protection from sunlight and depigmentation (skin lightening or brightening) is the first step towards a practical treatment approach. The current treatment option includes photoprotection by using sunscreen, topical compounds (like skin lightening/brightening agents), camouflage, bleaching agents, chemical peels, and laser and light therapies depending on skin type and condition.
This Survey has been undertaken to assess epidemiology and Treatment Practices in Management of Melasma among Dermatologists in India.
