1. What is endocrine melasma?

Manifestations when the skin is melasma due to hormones

Endocrine melasma is a condition in which melasma occurs due to a disturbance in the female hormone estrogen. Not only is an important sex hormone of the body, estrogen also has the function of inhibiting the production of MSH hormone - a hormone that stimulates the production of melanin under the skin.

Due to a number of changes in the body's physiology, estrogen levels are reduced, losing the ability to inhibit MSH and causing uncontrolled melanin production. From there, melasma legs are formed and gradually pushed onto the skin, causing the appearance of melasma.

Endocrine pigmentation is a condition in which the skin appears melasma due to the disruption of the female hormone estrogen. The increase or decrease of estrogen hormone causes hormonal imbalance in the body, stimulating the production of melanin and the formation of melasma.

Endocrine melasma is also known as deep melasma – this is a severe type of melasma and difficult to treat without appropriate methods and procedures. The severity of this type of melasma can be different, depending on the hormonal disorder inside the client's body.

2. Distinguish between endocrine melasma and normal melasma

Melasma is divided into 3 main levels:

• Melasma level 1: Level of melasma – this is a common skin condition due to the influence of negative external factors in the environment.
• Melasma level 2: Deep-seated melasma – this is a skin condition that occurs due to internal factors (also known as endocrine melasma).
• Melasma level 3: Mixed melasma of the above 2 levels – this is the most difficult melasma to treat because melasma is severe both outside and deep inside the skin.

Each level of melasma will have its own unique characteristics. Therefore, to understand and recognize melasma in the most accurate way, you need to distinguish between hormonal melasma and normal melasma:
