Dear Dr. I'm a female from China, I want to know whether the medicine Drospirenone influence the result of the HIV test. And I also want to know what kind of medicine can delay the window phase?
Many oral contraceptives contain chemical compounds that are designed to simulate the effects of natural hormones in the body. By acting on the endocrine system, these compounds can drastically decrease a woman's chance of getting pregnant. Drospirenone is one example of these types of synthetic hormones. While Drospirenone is effective as a means of birth control, it has also been found to increase a woman's risk of blood clots, stroke, and associated cardiovascular problems.
Hi,
'Laser treatment for melasma - A Wood's lamp test should be used to determine whether the melasma is epidermal or dermal. If the melasma is dermal, laser (or "IPL") will acually DARKEN and worsen the appearance of the spots. Dermal melasma is generally unresponsive to most treaments, and has only been found to lighten with products containing mandelic acid.
In all treatments for melasma the effects are gradual and a strict avoidance of sunlight is required.
I have had melasma and now have vitiligo. Around 2002-2003 I was on Paxil and I developed hot flashes and melasma. I was given a prescription bleaching creme Benoquin which removed most of the melasma but I have a couple of stubborn spots that won't go away with the creme or tri-luma. I have tried using retinol products faithfully and although my skin is soft the spots are there. Oddly enough as the melasma started to improve the vitiligo kicked in. I don't know if there is a connection.

Hi,
Now that you have mentioned your daughter's pregnancy ,this does sound like melasma.Melasma may run n the family.Melasma associated with pregnancy may last until one has given birth and the hormones regain their equilibrium once more. Oral contraceptives may also contribute to melasma. For some melasma ,may be present for a lifetime. In your wife's case, when did she notice these dark patches?
Melasma may occur in any part of the face and is usually symmetrical in distribution.
Hello,
I am a 37 year-old male currently suffering from mild-moderate melasma and have been advised by my doctor to avoid UV/sun exposure. The melasma is localized mainly to my forehead and right cheekbone. I currently use a Kojic-Acid based treatment 2x a day, and Retin-A 2x a week.
I am interested in using the a Hair Regrowth System to combat male pattern baldness.

Please do not experiment with birth control.
The chances of pregnancy from this event remain extremely low, for all of the reasons I mentioned in my first post. There is not a lot I can add to that, nor can anyone give you hard numbers.
Hi,
I have a dark spot on my cheek which I have probably had for at least a couple of years. Recently I have noticed that my entire face seems to be developing melasma (previously diagnosed in only one spot on my forehead).
I now have become obsessed with one spot on my cheek, larger and darker than the rest, mainly because it has one tiny pinhead-sized 'mole' that I can feel when I put sunscreen on it.
I have an appointment with the dermatologist at the end of next month.
Almost like a healing bruise. The areas are smooth, and look like the melasma I have on my face. I also take Synthroid and am on birth control (not sure if this could be related to meds?) Any idea what this could be? Do I need to see a dermatologist? Thank you very much.
Melasma is more splotchy looking... these are small freckles. All over my body. Not just my face and neck... I guess it's one more thing to ask my Dr.
I have POF with fsh 101 at age 30 i am on progyluton from 2 months have joint pains and melasma on face and receeding hairline will progyluton help with these problems?
Have had melasma for the past couple of years. Just started accutane 40 mg and wondering if there's anything I can use to help treat a stubborn spot on my forehead. Seems like its getting darker since I have started the pills. Already use a physical spf50 cream everyday. Any suggestions?
It sounds like you're developing melasma, which can be due to several factors (Google melasma). Ask your doctor if presccription hydroquinone 4% cream might be worth trying before considering more complicated laser options. There is also an over-the-counter hydroquinone 2% formula and a prescription Triple Combination Cream (a composite of hydroquinone 4%, tretinoin 0.05%, and fluocinolone acetonide 0.01%.) that might be helpful.
