I'm struggling a lot with melasma and it's been going on for about 2 years now. I've seen so many doctors and tried different treatments, but nothing seems to work. Is there a permanent solution to this issue? It's getting quite frustrating.
Consult a dermatologist for personalized treatment, and consider combination therapies like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser therapy, and topical creams containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoids, which can help manage melasma, although a complete cure is challenging.
