Melasma

Melanosermania is a pathological condition of the skin, which manifests itself in the form of uneven skin color. The first signs of the disease can be seen in adolescence. Melanodigerma is not an independent disease, but only one of the clinical manifestations of various diseases, including gastrointestinal pathologies, cancer

Melasma - what kind of disease is it?

Melanoderma or cutaneous melanosis is a group of diseases associated with excessive accumulation of melanin pigment in human skin and tissues of all mammals. As a result, a pigmented tumor is formed, the shade of which is usually darker than the natural color of the patient's skin.

This is explained by the need to adapt to new conditions. However, as the disease progresses, the size of melanodirma continues to increase, occupying large areas of the skin. If this pathology is not treated, over time the risk of cell degeneration increases, leading to the development of skin cancer.

Melanoderma is characterized by the presence of other symptoms similar to
