What causes melasma?

1. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that stagnation of liver qi can lead to blood stasis on the face, weak spleen and stomach can lead to insufficient qi and blood, unable to moisturize the face, causing damp heat to rise to the face and form chloasma, and insufficient kidney yang can cause the yang qi to diffuse, and blood stasis on the face will naturally form chloasma.
