Melasma?  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
SO! When my first DD was born, I got a brown smudge on my forehead. It's about half the size of a dollar bill. I knew it was melasma, but hoped it would go away after she was born. It didn't :. I saw a dermatologist who confirmed my suspicions of melasma. He gave me a cream to run on it that was supposed to lighten it. But ANY bit of sun exposure just intensifies it. It's really expensive, and I couldn't see the point of using it if it would just come right back. I've heard it can be lasered off. I can't imagine how expensive THAT would be. Anyone else had this happen? Know of any other remedies? I'm sure it would help if I wore makeup or some concealer, but I've always hated the feeling of it on my face...

i didn't get a diagnosis but i'm pretty sure what i got on my forehead is a type of melasma. in the right and angle you can see it. mostly it's just itchy.

maybe bfing has made it stick around for you???
as far as i know it really is supposed to go away.
