Understanding Melasma in Cochin's Coastal Climate
Melasma disease thrives in Cochin’s intense tropical sun and high humidity. Our dermatologists, serving patients from Thoppumpady port area to Kakkanad IT corridor, understand how Kerala’s climate, combined with hormonal factors and genetic predisposition, creates the perfect storm for facial pigmentation. The reflection from backwaters near Chinese fishing nets and year-round UV exposure makes professional treatment essential.
Common Pigmentation Triggers in Cochin:
- Intense sun exposure near Cochin Port and waterfront areas
- Hormonal changes during pregnancy (common in Kerala’s young families)
- Birth control pills usage among urban professionals
- Stress from traffic congestion between Vyttila and Edappally
- Heat exposure in non-AC public transport
- Reflection from water bodies around Hill Palace area
- Inadequate sun protection during outdoor activities
