Yes it is case of melasma
Let me explain why melasma occurs and what you need to do.
Causes
Excess sun exposure
Hormonal changes after 45 years (very common)
Stress, tension, lack of proper sleep
Poor digestion – acidity, gas, constipation
Use of fairness creams, steroid creams, scrubs
Family tendencies in some people
All these factors together cause dark patches on the face.
What should you do?
🌞 Sun protection is MOST IMPORTANT
•Apply SPF 50 sunscreen daily
Reapply every 3 hours when outdoors
• Use cap / scarf / umbrella
Avoid strong sun between 11 am – 4 pm
👉 Without sunscreen, no medicine will work properly.
🧴 Keep skin care very gentle
•Use a mild face wash
•Apply a light moisturizer
•Avoid scrubs, lemon, home remedies, fairness creams
•Avoid frequent salon treatments
🍎 Diet & lifestyle
•Drink plenty of water
•Eat fruits and green vegetables
Reduce oily, fried, and sugary food
•Sleep 7–8 hours daily
Try to reduce stress
Homeopathic medicines work slowly but permanently
But it can be given after case taking otherwise they won't work much.
Thank you...

Hi
Based on the photo and the history you have shared, this condition is most consistent with MELASMA (chronic facial hyperpigmentation).
Melasma is a chronic pigmentary disorder where excess melanin gets deposited in the skin, leading to brown to dark patches, commonly on the forehead, cheeks, and face. It is not dangerous, but it is persistent and emotionally distressing.
Since your mother has had this for 8 years, it suggests deep-seated pigmentation, which requires systematic, long-term treatment, not just creams.
Why is this happening? (Root causes)
Melasma is multifactorial, meaning more than one factor contributes:
Hormonal imbalance
â Perimenopausal hormonal changes around this age
â Estrogenâprogesterone fluctuation
Sun exposure (even indirect sunlight)
â UV + visible light triggers melanocytes
Genetic tendency
Chronic stress & disturbed sleep
Digestive and liver sluggishness
Use of harsh cosmetics / fairness creams in the past
Nutritional deficiencies (B12, iron, antioxidants)
can it be cured?
it can be controlled very well and significantly lightened
Recurrence can be prevented with the right approach
But there is no instant or overnight cure
What treatment approach works best?
A constitutional, holistic approach gives the best and safest results:
Individualized homeopathic treatment to correct:
Hormonal imbalance
Liver & digestion
Stress response
Skin pigment tendency
Strict sun protection guidance
Diet and lifestyle regulation
Unlike chemical peels or laser (which often cause rebound pigmentation), this approach works from the root and is safer for long-term control.
Lifestyle changes she MUST follow
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Avoid sun between 11 am â 4 pm
Use physical protection (scarf, umbrella)
Stop all fairness creams or steroid creams immediately
Adequate sleep (7â8 hours)
Stress management
Walking, breathing exercises, light yoga
Avoid heat exposure (steam, sauna, very hot water on face)
Diet recommendations
Include:
Green leafy vegetables
Fruits rich in antioxidants (papaya, apple, berries)
Adequate protein
Plenty of water
Zinc & iron-rich foods
Avoid / reduce:
Excess tea, coffee
Fried & junk foods
Excess sugar
Highly spicy foods
Late-night eating
How long does treatment take?
Initial improvement: 6â8 weeks
Visible lightening: 3â4 months
Stable control: 6-9 months
If your mother is willing to start proper treatment, she should consult a doctor experienced in chronic pigmentary disorders, who treats from the root cause and not just the surface.
Since she is from Bangalore, treatment and follow-up can be done easily with regular monitoring.if you are intrested you can book an online consultation with me or visit the clinic in banaglore vijayanagar. youu can check our google reviews and testiomonials in instagram and facebook.
take care.

Hi,
This condition is Melasma and one of the common skin condition appearing over the face.
It is mainly caused due to -

2. Exposure to sunlight trigger melanin pigment production.
3. Genetics
4. Thyroid diseases
5. Stress
6. Certain medications
Better to avoid sunlight exposure, treat underlying conditions if any. Homoeopathy has great scope after understanding the case in detail. As it is due to disturbance from within, take personalised homoeopathic medicines to correct the imbalances.
Measures to take :
1. Avoid sun exposure
2. Apply alovera gel / turmeric + milk / cucumber juice / onion juice / flaxseed gel, according to skin condition
3. Diet : Include Vit C and A foods, omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidants, take low glycemic index food, avoid caffeine, green leafy vegetables.
On understanding mother's case in detail, well structured diet plan can be suggested.
Next Steps
You can easily take an online consultation now or book video consultation for further treatment guidance.
