Majority of the patients blamed sun exposure as the cause of the melasma. However, SPBs were more frequent only in patients with higher socioeconomic and educational levels, a previous history of melasma treatment, and evaluating their disease as a chronic condition. Neither Qol nor clinical severity score had a significant effect on sun exposure causal attribution or SPBs.
