What is the difference between freckles and melasma? What do you know?

In life, you can find that many people will have spots on their faces, and the length is not the same, some spots are called freckles, some spots are called melasma, freckles and melasma are different, and the best methods taken are different.

First of all, we must know that the area of melasma is widely distributed, the color is darker, generally brown or dark brown, and tan, mainly distributed on the cheeks, melasma is one by one, the generation of melasma is mainly affected by endocrine, like some pregnant women and menopausal women are more likely to get melasma, and at the same time, melasma is also more difficult, and the spots are not particularly easy to go down, but also with some Chinese herbal medicines. The color of freckles is relatively light, generally light brown or tan, most of them one by one, like the size of sesame grains, freckles have a certain genetic predisposition, if parents or grandparents have a history of freckles, then the chance of freckles is relatively large.

In addition, the age of onset is also different, freckles are mainly due to genetic factors, the age of onset is relatively early, generally around the age of 5 will begin to appear freckles, and melasma is the pigmentation caused by acquired factors, pigment spots appear relatively late, usually in adults around the age of twenty or thirty. Whether it is freckles or melasma, it will have a certain impact on our facial features, and it will also make the whole person unsightly, at this time we can take certain measures, especially melasma is very related to acquired factors, and at this time we should reduce sun exposure. You must be in a good mood, otherwise being angry may also cause melasma to form.

Once freckles are obtained, there is no possibility of **, because most of the freckles are related to genetic factors, at this time, if you want to remove the freckles on the face, you can go to the hospital for laser**, or point out.

There are certain differences between melasma and freckles, which are as follows:

1.**Different. Freckles are a dominant genetic factor, with a genetic history, if the first family member has freckles, the probability of freckles in their children is relatively high, and it is generally more common in children; Melasma is acquired, and it is more common in young and middle-aged women, especially in pregnant women.

2.The morphology is different. Freckles are mostly isolated, the size of a grain of rice, generally less than two millimeters in diameter, and ranging from light brown to dark brown; Melasma is usually fused into patches and is a patch of light brown to light black patches.

3.Prognosis varies. Freckles** are relatively simple and can last for a longer period of time; Melasma** has a longer cycle.

Freckles are very different from melasma, freckles are generally smaller in shape, darker in color, more common on the bridge of the nose and on both sides of the nose, and can be removed by many cosmetic means; Melasma is darker in color, generally brown or light yellow, which is caused by improper care or hormone secretion disorders in the body, and is more difficult to remove.

Melasma and freckles are very different in size, shape, where the face grows, the reason for growth, and the method of **; Melasma is mainly formed by improper care, with a large shape, generally yellow or brown color, mainly distributed on the forehead and both sides of the cheeks on the face, and it is relatively difficult to get up; Freckles are mostly due to genetic factors, small in shape, most of them are small black dots the size of sesame seeds, and can be solved by many cosmetic methods.

With the arrival of summer, people will inevitably be exposed to strong sunlight and various rays, and when they look in the mirror, they will find large and small spots on their faces. Everyone has a love for beauty, and at this time, many women will rush to the doctor to find various methods**. In fact, many people can't tell the difference between freckles and melasma.

However, the two different methods of spotting** are also different, and only by recognizing the essence can we find the right way to prescribe the right medicine.

1. The difference between freckles and melasma

Definition: Melasma, also known as liver spots and butterfly spots, is a symptom caused by facial melanosis. Because the melanin in ** continues to increase, but it cannot be eliminated in time and effectively, it is deposited on the face.

Freckles are those small dark brown spots that are scattered on the face and have no effect on the deep layers of the face. It only affects the facial image, and the dark and brown spots that appear on the face and are scattered on the face.

Difference in size and shape: melasma is large or small, uncertain, and its shape is spot with clear edges and smooth surface. In addition, there is no inflammation and no itching sensation.

Freckles have a certain size, generally the size of a grain of rice, and the color is brown, such as finch eggs, so the name is freckles.

Population differences: In fact, the "pregnancy spots" that appear in pregnant women also belong to melasma, which is one of them. Studies have shown that women who generally experience melasma on their faces will experience menstrual disorders, premenstrual breast swelling and other conditions.

Freckles appear at an early age and are often accompanied by a family history.

2. How to remove freckles and melasma

In fact, many spots are caused by the sun's rays and various strong rays. Therefore, be sure to reduce sun exposure, go out as little as possible in summer or do a good job of sun protection. Secondly, we should insist on going to bed early and getting up early, not staying up late, maintaining healthy living habits, and strengthening physical exercise.

In addition, eat more fruits and vegetables, supplement various vitamins, and pay attention to drinking plenty of water.

In short, melasma and freckles are both facial spots, but they are very different in terms of the causes of their formation. This determines the difference in their methods, so don't rush to remove spots with a consistent method, you still need to prescribe the right medicine. In addition, the formation of spots is preventable.

In daily life, we must pay attention to sun protection, but also pay attention to rest, and maintain good living habits.

Freckles and melasma are the most likely to occur in women, with these two different plaques, women want to use reasonable methods to solve them, but because many women are not clear about freckles and melasma, they are affected by many factors in the process.

Next, we're going to help women distinguish between freckles and melasma.

First: the appearance is in a different position.

The most obvious difference between melasma and freckles is that the lesions on their surface are different. Freckles grow on the side of the nose and the bridge of the nose, melasma spots are predominantly brown, while melasma is butterfly-shaped patches with irregular shapes and are distributed on the bridge of the nose and face.

Second: the reasons for the formation are different.

Freckles have certain genetic factors, this kind of freckles are easy to produce in adolescence, both men and women are prone to freckles, and melasma is mainly the most likely to occur in women of reproductive age, and miscarriage is the main stage for women to produce melasma.

Third: the crowd is different.

Freckles are generally easy to produce in both men and women, while melasma is not painful and is the most likely to occur in women, and men are not pregnant and men are not easy to produce melasma. Therefore, most of the melasma is female.

Fourth: The approach is different.

There is a single method of freckles, which can be carried out by laser, and there are more melasma, there are drugs, lasers, and uterine diseases.

Female and male freckles need to be seen as the cause, and melasma is related to pregnancy. Therefore, we can distinguish from the different causes, and the above five points are the best way to judge freckles and melasma.

Whether it is a man or a woman, freckles should be improved as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be good for a long time, and the process of melasma should be mainly improved by the actual situation of female envy and noisy pregnancy.

Freckles and melasma are spots on the face, these two are often easy to confuse, in fact, these two spots are different, the first is that their reasons are different, freckles are related to genetic factors, but melasma is not related to genetic factors, melasma is almost caused by acquired factors, there is no genetic influence. Second, freckles are present at a very young age, and symptoms generally occur at the age of three to five or six to seven.

The main difference between these two classes is that freckles are congenital, melasma is acquired, melasma is more common in middle-aged women, generally men do not have freckles, more common in adolescents or children, freckles are generally scattered, melasma is more common in the cheeks.

Melasma and freckles are both common marks on the face, but melasma and freckles often cause many friends to be confused about melasma and freckles because of their similar appearance, so what is the difference between them, let's take a look at the introduction.

Difference Between Freckles and Melasma.

1. From the definition:

Melasma: also known as liver spots and leaky butterfly spots, is a symptom of facial melanosis, which is formed by deposition on the face due to the increase of **melanin, which cannot be effectively eliminated in time. Because melasma is not unsightly to the human body, there are no other uncomfortable symptoms.

As a result, it is often regarded only as a general disfiguring lesion.
