The dark spots usually go away by themselves - however, this process can take a very long time. It is not unusual to have the condition persist for months or years after giving birth or stopping taking birth control pill. Lotions with high SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 or greater should be worn if you have melasma, because sunlight and ultraviolet lights stimulate the production of melanin as a result of body's own protective response to such external stimuli.
Treatment for melasma:
- Cosmetic cover-ups to hide and reduce the appearance of spots.
- Non-prescription BIO SKIN REJUVENATION applied to clean skin twice a day. Ideal for use under makeup
- Over-the-counter lightening cream with 2% hydroquinone
- Prescription lightening cream with 4% hydroquinone
