    Melasma is a chronic skin condition that affects the facial area of patients and often impacts their quality of life. Therefore, the objective of this research was to evaluate the quality of life of patients diagnosed with melasma who were seen at a specialized pharmaceutical office in the district of Jesús María during August and September 2018. Method: This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted over a two-month period. A total of 148 patients were surveyed using the MelasQoL questionnaire, which consists of 10 questions and was validated in Colombia for patients with melasma. Results: The average age of the patients was 38.74 years (SD +/-10.032). Of the total, 83.8% (n=124) were female and 16.2% (n=24) were male. The age range of 31–40 years included the largest number of patients (n=62, 41.9%). The study found that 39.20% (n=58) of patients reported a severe impact on their quality of life, while 15.5% (n=23) reported a very severe impact. Additionally, more than 50% of the patients reported discomfort with their skin's appearance and feelings of frustration.
