I hate melasma.
So I've posted a few things regarding fading of my upper lip melasma, but in hindsight I have only seen temporary fading and this can change from day to day. I am only 24 and despite stopping the pill and keeping out of the sun completely I am not getting very far. I've tried acv, the nizoral paste, hydrogen peroxide, grapefruit seed extract, msm, vitamin c zinc milk thistle, selenium, drinking acv, probiotics and kefir and some hormone balancing powder that I cannot remember the name of, as well as fungal medication and upping my skin care routine drastically. The strange thing is my doctor said my pigmentation is superficial which should mesn it's easier to treat. He has recommended laser treatment for it. Any advice ladies? Also I'm feeling very depressed, as sad as it sounds, I do not want to leave the house I look like I have a moustache and no matter what makeup I use I just cannot cover it, the blue and grey tones seap through no matter what I try even though the pigmentation itself is brown up close. I've tried estee Lauder double wear, mineral powder, dermablend, colour correcting and tonnes more. Please help ladies. Oh also I've had tests done and all my blood came back normal for livrr functiom/thyroid. Any suggestions? I am loosing the world to live and need some advice and help right now.
convinced it's linked to yeast and candida.
So, on top of using the paste I wrote about, in have been applying hydrogen peroxide every morning and letting it soak in and then using sppf and my makeup. I am on day 3 of using grapefruit seed extract 20 drops 3-4 times a day, and I have seen significant Fading?! I don't want to speak too soon because melasma is a sneaky little devil, but I feel like the drops are definitely helping. Will keep you updated ladies. I will also update with some pictures by the end of the week. Would be interested to know if any of you ladies have had quick results with grapefruit seed extract? Big hugs
