Can melasma be cured permanently?

Melasma is a chronic condition. It can be managed and significantly reduced, but complete permanent cure is rare. Ongoing sun protection and maintenance treatments help keep it under control.

What is the best treatment for melasma on Indian skin?

Combination therapy works best: prescription creams with hydroquinone or tranexamic acid, gentle chemical peels, and rigorous sun protection. Dr. Divya avoids aggressive lasers on Indian skin tones to prevent rebound pigmentation.

Does melasma get worse in summer?

Yes. UV exposure and heat are the top triggers. Sunscreen with SPF 50+, reapplied every 2 to 3 hours, is essential during treatment.
