Recent progress in melasma pathogenesis.

Pigment cell & melanoma research - 1 Nov 2015

Lee Ai-Young

Abstract excerpt

Melasma is a common skin pigmentation condition. Given therapeutic difficulty as one of the biggest concerns, understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of melasma becomes essential. UV irradiation, female sex hormones, and inflammatory processes are addressed as triggering factors with genetic predisposition. The mechanism of UV-induced melanogenesis has been extensively investigated as a model system to...
