This condition will only get worse if you keep applying one cream after other.
It is reversible but will take few more months dont worry.
Continue breast feeding, take lot of water, fruits and vegetables.
Be patient it will fade
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
If the melasma is so prominent and is present in your siblings also then it has got a hereditary factor. You are getting the correct treatment but if it there is not much relief then probably a skin lightening treatment by laser therapy will be helpful.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
