Not much to update on. Camera not cooperating, therefore no pic for now. Not much change since last week....have been to the beach 3 times this week....at least its not getting worse. Hope to post a pic tomorrow.

My doctor prescribed Hydroquin/Hydrocort which is a compound the pharmacist mixes. It will take a minute but my results have been awesome!!

Havent noticed anything different this past week. Seems like the most stubborn part is my left side...which I attribute to being the side the sun hits on my work commute.

Week 5 update and I am pleased. The melasma has not only lightened but has broken up so it doesn't look so concentrated (especially on the top of my cheeks). This past monday I had a derma plane facial to remove dead skin cells....and boy did it make my face feel awesome. I still have not had any peeling/irritaion/redness from any of the obagi products or retin a micro. Also, I have been out to the beach 3 times this week for at least 2 hours each day....I just made sure to keep applying sunscreen and wear a hat.

You're melasma looks a lot lighter now. I'm glad it's working for you so far. Keep us posted with updates.
I'm considering the Obagi treatment for my melasma but I'm still breastfeeding so I can't treat it till I'm done.

Great to here your Melasma is getting lighter! My wife and I are moving to Florida in September, and I'm worried about the sun. I am one of the rare guys who's been struggling with Melasma, and having good luck with a combination of hydroquinone and retin a. Are you wearing hats all the time or have tried to be brave with just sunscreen on the face at the beach?

Hats hats hats! The sun is soooo much stronger here....gone are the days of just sunscreen...for me at least. Glad to know products are working for you.

wearing a hat/visor when outdoors for more than 10 minutes is the key......zinc oxide sunscreen is not ever going to be enough at that point!
