Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
The causes of melasma around the eyes include:
1. Hormonal changes: Long-term late nights, significant emotional fluctuations, and other factors may lead to endocrine disorders, causing hormonal changes in the body that promote melanin production, resulting in the formation of melasma.
2. Ultraviolet (UV) exposure: Prolonged exposure of the skin around the eyes to sunlight without proper sun protection can stimulate melanocytes to produce more melanin, increasing pigment deposition and leading to melasma.
3. Skin dehydration: Insufficient skin moisture can impair cellular metabolism, causing pigment deposition, which may result in melasma around the eyes.
4. Deficiency of qi and blood: Irregular diet and poor lifestyle habits may lead to skin pigmentation, causing skin dullness and the formation of melasma.
5. Liver qi stagnation: Prolonged negative emotional states can obstruct the circulation of qi and blood, which may also contribute to the development of melasma around the eyes.
