Hi,

I can understand your concern for melasma.

Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

Melasma is a melanosis on face may be affected by hormones and sun rays.

Do not use hydroquinone containing cream which is irritating and causes many side effects.

I would suggest...

-Kojic acid containing gel may be applied on the patches at night
-Sun screening cream may be applied to protect the skin from UV
-Tab Vitamin C 1000mg daily
-Cap Vitamin E 400 mg daily
-Tab tranexemic acid 250 mg twice a day
-Cleanse the face with glycolic acid and Kojic acid containing face wash

I hope this would help.

Thanks.
