Best Treatment for Melasma on the Face?
What is the best way to get rid of melasma patches on my face? I have a large brown spot on my forehead and chin that was diagnosed as melasma. I have been using triluma cream and it has lightened but it darkens the second I step outdoors. Is there anything else that I can do to get rid of this?

Optimal treatment for Melasma requires care by of a board-certified dermatologist
- See a board-certified dermatologist for higher strength hydroquinone and/or topical retinoid to be applied at night. Consider antioxidant vitamin C serum in the morning.
- Spectra Laser (Q-switched Nd:Yag laser) by Lutronic is the new standard of care for melasma
- Daily high SPF sunscreen application, reapply every 2 hours between 10am and 4pm when you are outdoors. Consider sun protective clothing, broad-brim hats. Plan your outdoor activities before 10am or after 4pm.
