Melasma after pregnancy. How do I get rid of Melasma?
-
Hello, I am a 28 years old female. I have a few spots on my face after my pregnancy. Earlier I thought it was freckled but after much research, I came to know that it is melasma. Is it treatable? Can anyone tell me how can I get rid of melasma?

@ashi Hello, Melasma is a common skin condition in which brown patches appear on the skin. Melasma most often affects the skin on the face and it can even be on the forearms and neck. It can appear in pregnancy during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Melasma does not need treatment. Melasma may fade away slowly if you stop taking birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy. If melasma appeared while you were pregnant, it may go away a few months after you have the baby. It can be treated. The doctor will probably prescribe a cream that contains hydroquinone. Creams that combine hydroquinone with kojic acid, azelaic acid, tretinoin, corticosteroids, or glycolic acid can also treat melasma. Do not take any medicine without a doctor's prescription. Thank You.
