Summary

Hyperpigmentation or chloasma or melasma generally refers to excessive storage of melanin in the skin. Parts of the skin esp. the face can be affected. Various factors interact in the development of melasma. Certain physical messenger substances, such as MSH and ACTH, as well as the female hormones estrogen and progesterone, have a particularly strong influence. During pregnancy and lactation, a particularly large number of hormonal changes occur in the female body. Up to 70% of all pregnant women are affected by melasma. This article gives an overview of the diagnostics as well as the current treatment options. The spectrum ranges from systemic and topical therapy to peelings and laser therapy.

Zusammenfassung

Hyperpigmentierung oder Chloasma oder Melasma bezeichnet allgemein eine übermäßig starke Einlagerung von Melanin in die Haut. Betroffen sein können Teile der Haut insbesondere des Gesichts. Bei der Entstehung von Melasmen wirken verschiedene Faktoren zusammen. Einen besonders großen Einfluss haben bestimmte körperliche Botenstoffe wie beispielsweise MSH und ACTH sowie die weiblichen Hormone Östrogen und Progesteron, besonders während der Schwangerschaft und Stillzeit. Bis zu 70% aller schwangeren Frauen sind von Melasmen betroffen. Dieser Artikel gibt einen Überblick der Diagnostik sowie der aktuellen Behandlungsmöglichkeiten. Die Bandbreite reicht von systemischer-, topischer Therapie über Peelings bis zur Lasertherapie.
