Does Melacare And Melgard Cure Pigmentation Permanently?
hi! I have pigmentation problem on my cheek, I consulted a dermatologist, he told me that it is the early stage of melasma.. He has advised me to use melacare cream and melgard sunscreen 50+.

Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
Your dermatologist has correctly prescribed you medications for melasma.
It will help in reducing melasma gradually.
Melasma is a highly recurrent condition, so no one can actually reassure that it wont ever come back but if certain precautions are taken like sun protection, recurrence can be avoided to some extent.
Good luck.
