ABSTRACT

Melasma is a common acquired, disfiguring, and pigmented disease of the face, which is mainly manifested as yellow-brown or light black patches of different shades of color and well-defined borders. The etiology of the disease is complex and not fully understood, and it is widely believed to be mainly related to abnormal skin melanin metabolism and local inflammatory response, and the course of the disease is long, clinically refractory, and easy to recur, which often has a negative impact on the physical and mental health and daily life of patients. In recent years, the external treatment methods of melasma have become more and more abundant, and the development of traditional Chinese medicine has greatly enriched its treatment content, and these treatment methods have been proven to be effective through a large number of clinical experiments. By reading a large number of relevant literatures, this paper summarizes these methods from three aspects: external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, external treatment of Western medicine, and external treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
