How to effectively prevent the occurrence of melasma

1. Sun protection! This is very important because pigmentation is most afraid of sun exposure. Excessive exposure to sunlight or X-rays or ultraviolet rays can trigger pigmentation and aggravate it. Even fluorescent lamps used for indoor lighting can aggravate pigmentation by stimulating ultraviolet rays, so pigmentation can be considered a physical damage skin disease.

Sun exposure can increase the activity of melanin, causing an increase in the melanin content in the basal layer of the epidermis and the formation of spots. In the summer, there is plenty of sunlight, the spots are active frequently, the number of spots increases, the color deepens, and the damage becomes larger; in the winter, there is less sunlight, the number of spots decreases, the color becomes lighter, and the damage is reduced. From this we can see that sun exposure is an essential factor in the occurrence of pigmentation, so patients should try to avoid prolonged sun exposure, especially in summer.

2. Prevent all kinds of ionizing radiation! Including various glass shell display screens, various fluorescent lamps, X-ray machines, ultraviolet irradiators, etc. These adverse stimuli can produce similar consequences to strong sunlight exposure, or even cause more damage than sunlight exposure, resulting in worsening of melasma.

3. Use various invasive treatments with caution! This includes freezing, laser, ions, strong acids and alkalis and other corrosive substances, otherwise it is easy to cause disfigurement.

4. It is taboo to use "quick-acting freckle cream" containing hormones, lead, mercury and other harmful substances, because there are too many side effects, which can cause hundreds of side effects and lead to serious disfigurement.

5. Quit bad habits such as smoking, drinking, staying up late, etc.
