Melasma

2022-03-14 12:26:49
I visited a dermat as i observed some patches on my cheeks. I was told it is Melasma and was required to use Reelight fashwash twice, Apply Ascorbic Fe serum and Rivela light sunscreen thereafter. At night use the face wash and apply Hydronomics forte serum at night on the affected blackish area. Since 2 days as i apply Ascorbic Fe serum during the day the affected area gets red and a tingling sensation is there. Could you please tell me if this is normal or some thing else. Please advice

Melasma is normal. It could be a reaction as well. More history is required to rule out the same. Please consult online should you want a detailed evaluation and treatment.

Kindly stop the serum for 5-7 days... Use sunscreen regularly and apply a good amount of moisturiser for face... Also consult with your dermatologist as you could have developed an allergy to one of the serums.
