Melasma is known to get worse over the years, how to manage it so that mine can stay in control?

Asked By:mandybains in London, GB

I had melasma from unprotected sun exposure while using obagi for acne. then lately more melasma due to use of laser hair removal treatment on the upper lip. I am currently using a strong hydroquinone 10% cream to fade away the pigment. I have noticed that I never got internal melasma. There was always an external trigger. Should i be hopeful that if I stop all triggers, and never allow my face be inflamed again, I can keep melasma at bay ?
