mask," men can also develop it. Melasma occurs inhalf of all women during pregnancy. It may goaway after pregnancy but, if it persists, can be treated with prescription creams and over-the-

• In most cases, common warts appear on the fingersor hands. Caused by contact with the contagioushuman papillomavirus, warts can spread fromperson to person or via contact with somethingused by a person with the virus. You can preventspreading warts by not picking them, covering them with bandages, and keeping them dry. Inmost cases, warts are harmless, painless, and go
away on their own. If they persist, treatmentsinclude topical medications, freezing, burning,surgery, lasers, and chemicals.
