How Long Will It Take Melasma to Fade Once I Stop Taking Birth Control?

Asked By:Nikita8908

I have never had any problems with melasma before until I started back on bc for accutane. I am 27, have been off both accutane & bc for 2 months, and it still has not faded away! Will this be permanent or something that will fade, but still come back later on?
