[Sunscreens: use in pregnant women at Casablanca].

Abstract

This study showed a low incidence of sunscreen use in our population of pregnant women. Melasma wasn't a reason for using sunscreens. However, access to medical information, especially to photoprotection advice, and the financial possibility of buying the product led to larger use of sunscreens. Up to now no study has confirmed that sunscreens can prevent melasma in dark phototype women with pregnancy. It would therefore be difficult to recommend them to pregnant women.
