Hi, This is very normal and nothing to panic.Usually one can start using cosmelan 2 from day 5 after cosmelan 1 after which the skin will slowly lighten up. Hope you are using your sunscreens properly. But it is advisable to meet your doctor and follow their instructions. Good luck.
Normally the Cosmelan 2 is started the day following the peel application. Did no one discuss the proper steps with you and expectations? I would suggest consulting your treating office for assistance as soon as possible.

Hi, Thanks for sharing your query. Cosmelan is one of the best option to treat melasma, There are other options too. Sun protection is highly recommended in general for any skin with pigmentation. Kindly meet a board certified expert to evaluate your condition and plan your treatment. Good luck.
I would suggest starting Melarase AM and Melarase PM followed by Melapads to help reduce discoloration of the skin. To enhance results, Melapeels once monthly are appropriate. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
Although these treatments can help pigmentation, we recommend the Brightening Kit plus Clear and Brilliant lasers to help treat melasma. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
I suggest seeing an expert in post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This needs a combination of lightening creams and sun protection. Best, Dr. Emer.
Dark skin can be treated with chemical peels followed by a combination of Melarase PM, Melarase AM, and Melapads twice daily. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
Cosmelan is a great treatment. You have to customize the usage of Cosmelan 2 according to your pigmentation. From 6 weeks to 6 months depending on the melasma. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
