How to fix this melasma after using hydroquinone to prepare skin for TCA peel? (Photo)

Vixendeluxe
I’ve had hydroquinone before doing TCA peel and never had melasma on my forehead before. It appeared suddenly, out of nowhere after using hydroquinone to prepare my skin for TCA peel. And after this peel, it just went worse. I had another peel but this melasma is still here and visible as never. How can I fix this since I didnt have it before I started doing chemical peels? I apply spf 50 daily under foundation and it seems fruitless, melasma is even more visible.
