949250 tn?1245962941 IDK I am hypo, but have had dark patches of discoloration on my forehead, and more appearing on my face just recently, they are really somewhat large. I take YAZ, however, the thyroid gland works with hormones, and I wonder. The dermatologist only offered bleaching cream, and I did not take it...I have Hashimotos also, like kipland.

Avatar m tn 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. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Hi, YAZ birth control pill causes cholelithiasis. According to studies done, YAZ birth control pill increases the risk of gallbladder disease only marginally. But if you are symptomatic, like if you have pain in the upper right quadrant or if you develop nausea or jaundice, discuss your symptoms with your consulting doctor he may change the dose or the medications. Regards.

Avatar n tn 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.

Avatar f tn m just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with panic and anxiety as a result of yaz? And have you found that it even got worse when you took yourself off of it? Just today I am now feeling tenderness of my nipples, is that common too? Does anyone know how long it will take to get out of my system? Also my libido had depleted to nothing, how long should it take for that to come back?
Avatar f tn m thinking these tests were useless due to the Yaz and that she needed the free levels checked but does the TSH look high? We have stopped the Yaz and will retest in a month or two. Thanks.
