Melasma: managing dark patches on the face

[carlos_mendez]

I have dark patches on my cheeks that worsen in the sun. 🌑 What treatments and precautions help melasma?

What I learned

Approach	Note
Strict sun protection ☀️	Essential, even indoors
Topical lighteners 🧴	Ask dermatologist first
Sun protection hats 👒	Physical barrier
Patience ⏳	Improvement is slow

• Melasma often needs combo treatment
• Hormones and sun drive it
• Consistency beats intensity

How do you manage melasma long term? 🌞
