Hi ! Thanks And Welcome To HCM. Melasma Will Fade On It's Own. I Recommend You Not To Try Melalite At Present As You Are Breast Feeding At Present. Try Other Product Like Face Wash, sun Cream, Or Any Ayurvedic Base Cream. Or Hide With Makeup. Do Check Your Thyroid Function Test To Rule Out Other Cause Of Melasma. Do Consult With Your Doctor. Take Care. Bye.
