The clinic have told me that it has become darker because the deeper pigment is coming to the surface and that it could be darker for up to a year!!. I have been told to continue with Cosmelan 2 and been left to cope with the prospect of worse skin indefinitely. I was not aware in any of my Cosmelan research that it could make my melasma worse which is why I picked it. Is the information that the practitioner gave me correct??
