Diane:
My melasma started three months after getting on Oral contraceptives. i used 4% Hydroquinine back then for 6 months. In October 2009 I stopped using Hydroquinine. In January 2010., I woke up one day with melasma around my lower lip. It is very bad. I have been trying to keep it lighter by natural spf 30 sunscreen. vitamin c serum. azelic acid and yogurt and turmeric mask. I also take vitamin c and msm supplements.

Back in May, 2010, my dermatologist prescribed me 4% hydro quinine again and suggested me to use it for 2 months only. i have been holding on to the prescription and sticking with natural cure. But nothing is helping. My question is can i take a risk of applying 4% hydro quinine for 2 months to get rid of this darkness.
