Hello,

Keep your skin clean. Wash your face with water and herbal face wash. Avoid the use of chemicals cosmetics. Avoid makeup. To prevent pimples on face, you can take a course of antibiotics like doxycycline-100mg. Do not touch your face with dirty hands, do not scratch. Melasma can be due to hormonal imbalance, hypothyroidism, contraceptives, pregnancy, or unsuitable skin care products.

Avoid scented soaps and direct exposure to sunlight. Get clinically examined by a Dermatologist, you will be treated with chemical peel, laser therapy, etc. In the meantime, applying cream or gel containing azelaic acid may help. Apply a thin layer on the area affected after sensitivity testing. Skin peels containing topical hydroxyacid are also helpful as they help to remove the surface skin.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
