Dhaka, May 12 – Mechta or Melasma is more common among women. This results in black spots on the face. You have to be embarrassed to move outside. Men also have mechta, which is related to sunlight. Why Mechta occurs, what are the issues involved and what is the treatment, said the head professor of the Department of Dermatology and Venereal Diseases of Sir Salimullah Medical College Hospital. Zakir Hossain Ghalib.

He said that the important part of the mouth is usually on both sides of the nose. Black spots are clearly visible. This is for two or three reasons. In the case of girls, taking birth control pills can cause pregnancy in pregnant women after childbirth and in both men and women due to exposure to sunlight. Although there are a few other minor causes, these three factors are mainly responsible.

Women as well as men are having mechta. Because boys get more sunlight on their skin. When the skin is not able to absorb the heat of the sun, a certain place becomes black. Mechta is not usually hereditary. However, if the mother has wire skin, the daughter can also get it. In that case skin quality is very important. In the case of sunlight, each person’s skin responds individually. For example, fair skin responds in a certain way; Black skin responds differently. Again, the response of common skins is the same. Black spots are visible based on the quality of the skin. You need to know these things well.

Dr. Zakir Hossain said, Mechta can be of two types. One is epidermal hyper prevention super facial. Another is dermal hyper prevention. There is a light, with which it is easy to see which class of mechta. If it is an epidermal super facial, use a sunblock properly so that it is not exposed to ultraviolet rays. You need to use the sunblock before you go out. You have to use any bleaching agent at night. Bleaching agents usually contain hydroquinone, folic acid, ascorbic acid, with which we will bleach, if bleached, our mechta will go away.

Mechta can return even after bleaching with hydroquinone for a long time. In that case we give a cligmaj formula. That means a little steroid with hydroquinone, a little vitamin A derivative, a combination of tritinine used at night to get rid of mechta. Even then, if someone’s fishing problem comes back, they have to do chemical peeling. Peeling should be done with dry choleic acid, trichlor acetic acid, he said.
