Abstract

Cosmetic products play a significant role in daily grooming routines, with individuals often unaware of the potential allergens within them. Melasma, a common hyperpigmentation disorder, affects a significant portion of the population. This article presents the findings of an initial study that aimed to investigate the prevalence of cosmetic contact sensitivity among individuals with melasma. Through patch testing and careful analysis, this study sheds light on the potential link between melasma and adverse reactions to cosmetics. The results highlight the importance of understanding these interactions to provide better skincare solutions for affected individuals.
