 <\/p>\n

Varias afecciones pueden provocar cambios en el color de la piel, y algunas de ellas incluso tienen un aspecto similar para el ojo inexperto. En Dermatolog\u00eda afiliada<\/a>Hemos tratado muchas de estas condiciones en el \u00e1rea metropolitana de Phoenix, por lo que queremos ayudarle a entender la diferencia entre el melasma y algunas de las otras condiciones de aspecto similar.<\/p>\n

Qu\u00e9 es el melasma y c\u00f3mo identificarlo<\/b><\/h2>\n

Melasma<\/a> es una afecci\u00f3n cut\u00e1nea frecuente. Se caracteriza por la aparici\u00f3n de manchas marrones o pardo-gris\u00e1ceas en la piel, principalmente en la cara. Normalmente, las manchas aparecen en las mejillas, la nariz, la frente, la barbilla y encima del labio superior. Aunque es m\u00e1s frecuente en la cara, el melasma tambi\u00e9n puede aparecer en cualquier zona de la piel muy expuesta al sol. Por eso, tambi\u00e9n suele aparecer en los antebrazos y el cuello.<\/p>\n

Esta afecci\u00f3n es m\u00e1s frecuente en mujeres que en hombres y en personas con tonos de piel m\u00e1s oscuros. El melasma suele estar asociado a cambios hormonales. El embarazo, las p\u00edldoras anticonceptivas, la terapia hormonal y otras afecciones que afectan a los niveles hormonales pueden desencadenar esta afecci\u00f3n. La exposici\u00f3n al sol, que desencadena la producci\u00f3n de melanina, tambi\u00e9n puede ser un factor desencadenante.<\/p>\n

El melasma se identifica por la pigmentaci\u00f3n \u00fanica que provoca. Dado que muchas afecciones cut\u00e1neas pueden parecer similares a ojos inexpertos, lo mejor es someterse a un examen dermatol\u00f3gico profesional para obtener un diagn\u00f3stico preciso.<\/p>\n

Afecciones cut\u00e1neas similares al melasma<\/b><\/h2>\n

Hay otras afecciones que pueden dar lugar a una pigmentaci\u00f3n marr\u00f3n de la piel. Un profesional podr\u00e1 distinguir entre estas diversas afecciones. Algunos ejemplos de afecciones cut\u00e1neas que pueden parecerse al melasma son las siguientes:<\/p>\n

Melasma frente a pecas<\/b><\/h3>\n

Ambas afecciones son formas de pigmentaci\u00f3n de la piel. Las pecas, tambi\u00e9n conocidas como ef\u00e9lides, son peque\u00f1as manchas marrones que suelen aparecer durante la infancia. Son m\u00e1s frecuentes en personas de piel clara. La predisposici\u00f3n gen\u00e9tica desempe\u00f1a un papel importante en la formaci\u00f3n de pecas. La exposici\u00f3n al sol es lo que provoca su formaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Las pecas se diferencian del melasma en que suelen ser m\u00e1s peque\u00f1as, tener un color m\u00e1s uniforme y desaparecer sin exposici\u00f3n al sol. Por el contrario, el melasma cubre zonas m\u00e1s grandes y no desaparece a menos que se trate.<\/p>\n

Melasma frente a manchas solares<\/b><\/h3>\n

Las manchas solares, tambi\u00e9n conocidas como lentigos solares o manchas hep\u00e1ticas, son peque\u00f1as zonas planas y oscuras de la piel. Esta afecci\u00f3n es m\u00e1s frecuente en las personas mayores, ya que est\u00e1 causada por una exposici\u00f3n prolongada al sol y tarda muchos a\u00f1os en desarrollarse.<\/p>\n

Mientras que el melasma es m\u00e1s frecuente en la cara, las manchas solares tienen las mismas probabilidades de aparecer en cualquier lugar expuesto al sol. Las manchas solares tienen una coloraci\u00f3n m\u00e1s uniforme y una forma m\u00e1s definida que el melasma. El melasma, desencadenado en gran medida por cambios hormonales, tiene una causa fundamental distinta de las manchas solares.<\/p>\n

Melasma frente a hiperpigmentaci\u00f3n<\/b><\/h3>\n

Hiperpigmentaci\u00f3n<\/a> es un t\u00e9rmino m\u00e1s amplio que melasma y se refiere a cualquier oscurecimiento de la piel. Esto significa que el melasma es, de hecho, un tipo de hiperpigmentaci\u00f3n. Las manchas solares, las pecas y otras afecciones tambi\u00e9n son formas de hiperpigmentaci\u00f3n. Dada la amplia gama de afecciones, la hiperpigmentaci\u00f3n tiene un n\u00famero igualmente amplio de causas. El acn\u00e9, el eccema y la exposici\u00f3n al sol pueden provocar una u otra forma de hiperpigmentaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

El melasma se distingue de otras formas de hiperpigmentaci\u00f3n por su patr\u00f3n distintivo en la piel. Adem\u00e1s del aspecto espec\u00edfico de la afecci\u00f3n, las localizaciones concretas en las que se desarrolla y las causas hormonales tambi\u00e9n ayudan a su identificaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
