i say my new neoro today and he wanted me to look at 3 other meds(lamictal, topomax, and trileptal) and they all have just as bad or more side effects including severe acne.
ive been trying to ghave a good attitude but its starting to get to me and it has almost eliminated my social life. i dont care what ppl think. acne does make a difference and i dont think a good looking girl would like me with my face all messed up.

For the melasma, treatment options include treatment with vitamin C and hydrocortisone, peel with carbon dioxide snow and alexandrite and ND-Yag Q-Switched laser treatment preceded by a hydroquinone-based application. But get it done after the course of Accutane. Please discuss these options with your dermatologist.

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.

Other medications, such as anti-seizure medications, may also cause melasma. The condition is usually seen in the 2nd and 3rd decade of life.
The rash is usually symmetrical and present on the cheeks, lips (including upper lips), nose or the forehead. Sun exposure is strongly associated with melasma.
However, the best treatment for melasma is prevention. One should avoid the sun and use daily sunscreen.

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.

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.

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 dark skin patches on my forehead and around my lips and they are really dark. And when I say dark I mean they are really dark. You see, I am a South Indian with dark skin but the dark patches are very noticeable. Im not pregnant so I do not think it might be Melasma as they said if you have that you must be having hormonal changes to have that.
I have been on lamictal 100mg to 150mg, and I haven't noticed any facial hair growth, although I think my hair is thinning out. When I take a shower and put cream rinse in and work it thru, I have lots of hair coming out.
