• Most likely hyperpigmentation (melasma / tanning / frictional pigmentation) on forehead
• Common causes: sun exposure, hormonal factors, heat, or product irritation
Next Steps
• Start broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+, PA+++) daily, reapply every 3–4 hrs
Helpful Tips / Words of Caution
• Sunscreen is the most important step—without it, no treatment will work
• Avoid harsh scrubs or over-exfoliation (can worsen pigmentation)
• Be consistent—results take 6–8 weeks
• Avoid steroid-containing fairness creams
• Use mild cleanser and keep skincare simple to avoid irritation
