There are multiple triggering factors for melasma. Sunscreen just prevents the photodamage, it will not make your melasma dissappear directly. There is detailed history like genetic/family history, medical history , daily sunexposure and occupational details, hormonal status... kindly take online Consultation for proper assessment of all these things

Hello,
Thank you for your query.
• Based on the information provided, it is difficult to suggest the most appropriate treatment without a proper assessment, as several skin conditions can appear similar.
• Kindly share clear photographs of the affected area in good lighting along with details such as duration of the problem, symptoms, and any treatments used previously.
• I would advise against starting any OTC creams or self-medication, as some products may worsen the condition or delay proper treatment.
• An accurate diagnosis is the first step towards effective and long-lasting results.
You may book a consultation for a detailed evaluation and a personalized treatment plan. I would be happy to guide you further.

Please do not worry. Effective treatment options are available; however, management depends on the severity and extent of the condition. A detailed medical history is essential for appropriate evaluation and treatment planning.

It will not be cured by just sunscreen. Kindly consult so that proper examination could be performed, and then a personalised treatment can be given to you.
