Differential diagnosis of chloasma and the harm of chloasma

Chloasma is a relatively common skin disease. Due to its complex causes, the condition of chloasma is also changeable. Usually, the face and chin skin are the main sites of chloasma, and the location is relatively obvious, which seriously damages the beauty of the skin and causes great pain to many people. In addition, melasma has similarities with freckles and discoid lupus erythematosus, so the differential diagnosis of melasma is also very important.

The differential diagnosis of melasma can first be determined from the symptoms of melasma. Chloasma is also called "butterfly spots" because they are often symmetrically butterfly-shaped on the face; the color of chloasma is dull and dull, it does not hurt or itch, and there is no inflammatory response. Studies have shown that melasma is associated with a variety of diseases.

1. They occur on the cheekbones, forehead and around the mouth, and are mostly symmetrical and butterfly-shaped, so they are also called "butterfly spots".

2. The initial color is like dust, which deepens over time and becomes light gray-brown or dark brown, dull and dry.

3. The size is irregular, the spots have clear edges, smooth surface, no inflammatory reaction, and no pain or itching.

4. Women who frequently use oral contraceptives and pregnant women will develop "pregnancy spots" on their faces, which is also a type of chloasma.

5. Women with chloasma often have menstrual disorders, premenstrual breast swelling, or chronic diseases.

6. Male patients with melasma are often accompanied by impotence, premature ejaculation, gastrointestinal dysfunction, etc.

7. Sun spots caused by frequent sun exposure are also a type of melasma.

Chloasma is a skin problem that affects appearance, especially in women. All kinds of spots are prone to appear on women. Some people just think that spots are stains that affect the appearance and do not realize the hidden harms of spots. Among them, chloasma, which is common in women, hides great harm.

1. Melasma is the killer of female beauty. Beauty and spots are incompatible. No matter how good you are at covering up chloasma on your face, you cannot restore your natural beauty.

2. Chloasma is the "signal light" of disease in the body. Chloasma is an outward manifestation of endocrine disorders and accumulation of metabolic waste in the body. When chloasma occurs, problems will also occur inside the body. For example, many patients with melasma suffer from lack of energy, irritability, loss of appetite, breast swelling and pain, irregular menstruation, etc. Some also have breast lumps, uterine fibroids, cysts, liver disease, etc.

3. It has a huge impact on women’s psychology. "With spots on the face, self-confidence loses its fulcrum." Spots on the face directly affect women's mood and self-confidence. The accompanying symptoms inevitably hinder women's daily life and even affect family harmony, causing great psychological pain to women.

In addition to identifying chloasma based on symptoms, differential diagnosis can also be made by going to a regular dermatology hospital for examination. Chloasma not only affects appearance, but the occurrence of chloasma also usually means that it may be accompanied by a variety of diseases. Therefore, patients with chloasma should not simply think that it is a skin disease. It is best to go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive diagnosis. With the development of cosmetic surgery technology, chloasma can also be removed through cosmetic methods.
