Detailed answer

Oral corticosteroids are not recommended for the management of melasma. Melasma is a skin condition characterized by hyperpigmentation and is typically caused by hormonal changes, sun exposure, or genetic factors. Oral corticosteroids can have systemic side effects and should only be used under medical supervision for specific conditions. The primary treatment options for melasma include topical creams, chemical peels, laser treatments, and sun protection measures such as sunscreen usage, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding excessive sun exposure.
