Melasma is a common hyperpigmentary condition occuring due to hormonal and sun related factors.
It can be difficult to cure,especially after 6months to 1yr of developing it.Creams usually are not effective on their own in such cases.Laser treatments work better for long term Melasma.
Health Tips
Maintain good sunprotection with sunscreen and physical barriers to avoid worsening of your Melasma.
