What Does a Melasma Mustache Look Like?
Melasma mustaches should not cause discomfort or swelling.
It is typically asymptomatic and doesnt cause any pain or itching, Garshick said.
That said, it can make people feel self-conscious or embarrassed.
If you experience the development of brown patches along with itching or swelling, consult a board-certified dermatologist.

The heat and warmth also causes abnormal vascular changes that propagate the severity of melasma.
Is Prevention Possible?

Treating a melasma mustache takes time, so have patience during treatment.
