Recurring melasma patch after lasers and peels?

August 13, 2017
Asked By:Mary_L in Kuala Lumpur, MY

I have a brown melasma patch on the side of my left cheek. I got it during my pregnancy. That was 7 years ago. Since then, I go for regular lasers and chemical peels at doctors clinic. Each time after removal, it grows back to the same size and shape. Lightening creams don't work for me. Im not sure what else to do because it keeps coming back. Surgical removal?
