I am a certified italian dermatologist and you have given real and clear indicationson how efectively treat melasma ...finally scientificalli reality instead of the mountains of false remedies circulating on the web ....thanks and congratulations !🙋♂😊
I eat a lot of ( I mean a lot ) oranges, kiwi, pineapple , drink a lot of honey lemon . I notice my entire body’s skin fair for 2-3 tones!
I think diet has a huge role to play in skin conditions. I recommend looking at Anthony Chaffee's channel for a more expert opinion on it
Hello! How many oranges and these fruits u eat atleast ? I also eat many fruits but i dont see different in that way. Also what type skin is yours? Mine is indian bown skin.
@@ritikashakya5235 eliminate rice,roti,all processed foods and fasting at least 2 days a week and eat more papaya and watermelon,big bowl of salad and fish oil (omega 3 fatty acid)best of best solution.I cured my melasma by following this.Sun and carb are the enemy for hyperpigmentation sufferers like us.
everyday morning termaric juice one cup with one table spon lemon juice. With honey..,.orange 2...pineapples few pieces.....bitroot,carrot,orange juice one glass regular.....you will see results after 3 months....cintinue it whole life...after few years your skin will looks 2-3 tone fair....its my real life experience@@ritikashakya5235
Kiwi is full of oxalates. Prepare for future joint pain
I have melasma that spread across my forehead during my pregnancy. It's been a year and it's still there. Thank you for this helpful information.
Here in Algeria in north Africa we use chicken gallbladder applying directly on the dark spots, I know that's suck but it's so effective than chemical dangerous products.

If the liver is filled with toxicity . Our skin gives some signs and melasma one of them .
Try liver detox . It will take time to disappear melasma.. and also apply castor oil at night on melasma , leave it over night.
Thank you Dr Abs for all the valuable information. I am African American of fair complexion and suffer from this disorder. I look like I’m wearing a very dark almost black mask over my checks and around my eyes. I look forward to using items in your above video in the near future to improve my appearance which I didn’t believe was possible. Also, totally unaware of this being a major issue in Indian. I don’t see many AA as I with this issue. Thank you. Will also be obtaining NMN from you currently taking the tablets in tablet form. Grateful for all you do! Carol
Hey doc, I have Pigmentary demarcation lines on my cheeks and it’s getting darker with time. Already under a consultantion with my dermatologist. But seems to have no improvements. What to do in that case? Could you please help so I can get some idea.
Hi, is the picoway laser safe? I hear mixed stories such as that they make melasma worse overtime. Do you know this?
I really appreciate this video. Does anyone know if he means put the hydroquinone that’s mixed with tretinoin all over the face? My dermatologist has told me to never put hydroquinone in the areas that doesn’t have melasma so I’m a bit confused. Thank you!
Hi I have melasma really bad on my face I don’t leave the house,my face is so dark and I can’t take no more,I’m suffering with depression know and I take antidepressants,and I’m suffering with anxiety,please help me my doctor said they can’t help and the demonology said the same please help me ,
You can check the syrus chanel over youtube . There is a guy who treat 1000+ people with diet only and it is real effective as well
I used a combination cream of Hydroquinone, Tretinoin and Fluocinolone acetonide - it really helped my melasma lighten by 50% in 6 weeks but I by mistake I stopped it due to some other treatment and i ended up with bad rebound pigmentation - now i don't know what to do...
Maybe speak to the person that gave you the cream to see if they have an alternative
Corticosteroid is never the permanent solution.
@@moodmeditation4458learned it the hard way, cosmelan helped tremendously - my melasma is almost gone and I'm hypervigilant about sunscreen now...😅
Hello Dr.,
your video is incredibly informative. I wanted to ask for some clarification on the usage of Hydroquinone 4%. Could you kindly advise if it should be used once to twice a week when mixed with tretinoin 0.1%, or if it can be used on other days separately?
Also, I'm curious to know if the OBAGI product mentioned in the video is OBAGI blend 5 or Obagi Clear 3?
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise through the video. greatly appreciate 👏👏👏
It can be used on its own without being mixed with tret, sure. Both have hydroquinone in (3 and 5) as far as I'm aware. However, check out my video coming tomorrow for something even stronger than hydroquinone before you buy anything.
Thanks for the kind words 🙂
Doc! I just came across your channel today and I just thought of jotting down some of the queries.
-when should we use the cleanser? Both morning and evening?
- can we directly apply the mixture (hydroquinone & tretinoin)
- Could you suggest a good quality sunscreen easily available in the Indian market?
Cleanser can be AM and/or PM but depends on the skin and when you shower - over cleansing can worsen the situation
Mixture applied together is fine
See if Eucerin is available in India, can't remember off the top of my head
Nice information.. Thnx
you should absolutely have a bigger following, your videos are great! thanks for the useful info and keep up your content! liked and subscribed xx
Thank you 🙏 glad you find them useful ❤️
Sir my sister is having melasma on whole plz prescribe some effective treatment...plz
Hello Doc, my skin couldn't tolerate hydroquinone, mt skin was lobster red. What do you suggest? Im using Azelaic acid 20% but progress is vety slow.
Could look at other ingredients like alpha arbutin, thiamidol etc
Don't use hydroquinone cream it's a steroid
Hello,
thank you for such an informative video! I have a question, I live in Canada and we only have excess to 2% hydroquinone and I believe they discontinued trentinoin. Would only 2% still be effective for treating sun damaged skin and can you use rentinol with hydroquinone instead? Thank you!
It'll work but be less strong. Should be fine with retinol too. Che k out my video on thiamidol too as an alternative to hydroquinone.
@@Dr_Abs Thank you! I’ll take a look at that video!
hi Doc i am suffering from melasma need help
ua-cam.com/video/s8ZwA5JutnM/v-deo.html
I didn’t find any link for prescription!
Greetings Dr I need a prescription for melasma
Hey Doctor,
My face became more darker,two tone skin,discoloration after useing retinol.please suggest any solution
Impossible to say over a UA-cam comment without a consultation unfortunately
How can i get this product am in london@Dr_Abs
There's a link in the description for a prescription service
Very impressed. How I go about getting the prescriptions for the Retinoic Acid and the Hydroquinone?
There's a link in the description :)
Hydroquinone
I live in the Netherlands and doctors here are very reluctant to prescribing Tret to patients unless you have a serious case of acne or other skin issues.
I have a mild case of melasma and want to start using tret. Would you be able to write a prescription for someone who lives in Holland?!!
Yeah I have many patients in Netherlands 🙂
@@Dr_Absonly for people in the US??
Can you make one for prevention of tanning.....nothing seems to work for me
Thank u for the great info. Once this works for someone and if it actually works with good results, what do u do for the years to come? Will the melesma keep coming back when u stop or can u keep it away by maintaining a good care routine and constant strong sun protection spf
Great qu, always maintain for life. Look at the Eucerin melasma kit which is quite good.
Hi Doc lm having very bad melasma n lm on my treatment picopulse already 4 times but never go off ... what is the best cleanser n vit to take for my skin
Look at Sciton BBL. Impossible to suggest a routine without seeing the skin.
Does this work on sun spots sun damage ?
Is it work sir. I'm very sad because of melasma
Hi, How long to use Hydroquinone 4% for ? And how long to stop it for ? Basically - How to cycle hydroquinone 4%? Thank you!
It's different for every patient; probably a few months is an average. Howrver, some us it all year round and are fine too.
But i have tried hydroquinone with a bit of tetroinide and my skin became red and the melasma get worst
Can u suggest me some specific product to treat melasma?
I've dark spots on both my both chicks for a round area.
forehead melasma are more effective than cheeks melesma 😂😂😂what chicks my lady ????😂😂
is 20 percent azelaic acid is as effective of 4 percent hydroquinone?
Good question, Im not sure of a direct comparison between those exact two concentrations. But, I'd guess both in the long term will give you what you're after. In the short term, I wouldn't be surprised if the AA was stronger. Have a look at thiamidol too from Eucerin if you like.
Can u use vitamin c while u using hydrocarbons plz let know and elso my doctor told me I can only use hydrocarbons 2 moths on two moths of and when two moths of my dark spots can come back also describe the best face wash for dark spots thanks
When you say hydrocarbons, do you mean hydroquinone?
Hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon.
It's a type of compound - not a single one. Ethanol and crude oil are both hydrocarbons but it doesn't mean they can both be used on the face.
can hydroquinone 4 percent be used in florida? or are you talking about washington state or alaska?
I recently used hydroquinone for my hyperpigmentation which my dermatologist recommended. But after applying I got rashes on my face and I stop using it . Later after a week or 2 later I went to see other dermatologist which she prescribed me steroid ointment hydrocortisone that also made worst . So I stopped using it but I had black color pigmentation on my cheeks near mouth and eyes . My dermatologist referred to a skin specialist to see what cause me skin reaction so they will do a skin patch test to see for what I got this with food or anything else
Hidroquinona causa efeito rebote no melasma. Fuja da hidroquinona!
@Dr.Abs A year later and no appointments available !
It's an issue with the link, should be fixed soon
I can’t find the link to get the prescription.
Hi doc, can i use red light therapy device while using hydroquinone and tretinion. Thank you in advance 😊
Sure, but try to avoid if you're having a reaction and make sure skin is clean each time
@@Dr_Abs thank you so much doc. I really appreciate you replied.
This is great advice, but Indont see a link to get your products
I don't manufacture anything - I simply consult and then can prescribe etc. the link is in the description, is it not working for you?
Hey Doc, can i ever stop using the hydroquinone or will my pigmentation come back? I’m suffering from post CO2 laser hyperpigmentation!
Yes, you potentially could.
So where is the link to get a prescription please|?
I did hydroquinone and Trenton for 9months( 3 refills) and did nothing to my melasma
Thanks!
Thank you so much 🙏 I'm starting a podcast soon to go deep diving into relevant topics, this helps me a lot for cameras, lenses etc 🙏
You’re so nice! Thanks for him.
What about pigment inhibitors?
Hi doctor thant you so much for all the valuable information I just have question Is the consultation 250 pounds ? To have the prescription ? I do not see any other link !!!!
Thank you for your video. Question on the nights that I don't use the retinol. Because it irritates me if I use it every night. Do I still apply only hydroquinone on those nights??
Sure
@@Dr_Abs thank you for your response!
Hi, can you use hydroquinone morning and night ?
Night only.
Do you advise against using at home radio frequency facial devices if you have melasma?
Yup - RF requires a lot of power. Home devices are completely incapable of reaching the same power level as big clinical machines so they're usually a complete waste of money. Also, if you get it wrong and cause inflammation the pigmentation could get worse.
@@Dr_Abs Thank you.
Hi Doc what is oral medicine for pigment or melasma maybe you can advice😊
Good question, I personally don't do that so can't say. Some like to use things like glutathione though
hi Dr Abs, I have started to use Tretinoin 0.05% for a week but my skin gets darker , is that normal? is it temporary? thanks
It's impossible to say without knowing any clinical information like what things looked like before, other conditions, med history, regimen etc
BBL vs Pico laser for Fitzpatrick 4 hyperpigmentation and PIH? Alternatively can I get a erbium resurfacing done to fix skin texture improve shallow boxcars and the PIH/ hyperpigmentation?
I'd go BBL. Erbium is a good option. Look at something like Sciton Halo or Sciton Moxi.
Where's the link??
Hello! I am from india and have brown skin. I have bad hyperpigmentation like on the side of eyes, smile lines and dark circles. Though i was prescribed hydroquinone and used it for about 1 year but i didnt get good results. Initially it also irritated my skin very much.
You need to treat from inside Take care of your digestion You have to eat food that is rich in vitamin c and balance diet zine , protein and use sunscreen daily for me it work
Try visit nandacosmeticandskinclinic. My melasma and pih got recovered.
I used hydroquinone but it doesn't cure permanently, i used it but when i stopped it, i have same issue again
it lighten skin ?
if I want to start tretinoin at the age of 40 for anti-ageing, with what concentration shall I start with? Also to mention I have been using combination of kojic acid ointment in the mornings and melcia lite (an ointment with niacinamide 4%, hydroquinone 2% ... as prescribed by a dermatologist, I want to start anti-ageing routine as well.
There's no right or wrong concentration tbf. 0.025 will probably be the easiest to adapt to.
Hi question! My dermatologist doesn't want to give me hydroquinone because my skin wouldn't be able to handle it. I have Rosacea, could this be the reason? My melasma is getting worse and it's not even summer yet. I don't know what to do. Does Eucerin help?
Eucerin melasma kit seems to be phenomenal in it's ability to tackle pigmentation! Definitely worth giving a go in my opinion 😊
@@Dr_Abs thanks 🥰
Dr what about if you have rosacea? My ultra sensitive skin can’t take retinoids
Try a gentle retinoid like Alpharet Overnight Cream from SkinBetter Science
@@Dr_Abs Thankyou!
Thanks
Hi doctor!
I'm from Pakistan, nice to watch your video
Is it possible to clear melasma
Hi, yes there are many methods around the world
Can you use the vit c before the tret/hydroquinone concoction. Also can the eucerin moisturizer be layered after?
Yes to both
Hi Dr, can I take oral trenexamic acid tablets to treat melasma? If yes what dosage, plz suggest.
I know of people doing that but I can't responsibly give someone advice on dosage of a drug without seeing them I'm afraid
I am suffering from malasma how to cure plz suggest...I am lupus patient
Steps in the video should help
hi doc. where we can buy that product in the Philippines??
Not sure for each country unfortunately. My patients get me to prescribe to them wherever they are in the world. Website is www.drabs.clinic if you'd like to look
Hello Doc, i use cream hydroquinone +tretinion for my melasma,and some dark spot gone and it appeared white patch and this again my concern. And when i stop my melasma come back and the white patch is growing.please can you give an advice what should I do? Thank you.
I'd maybe add in LED treatment to help the cell function to distribute pigment evenly again if possible. Maybe some clinical LED sessions or a home device like intofaces.com
Should I totally stop using hydroquinone? What cream I can use doc? Thank you
Your accent is superb!
Are you saying the usual brown sking with indian accent is not good enough for you??
Are you saying the usual brown sking with indian accent is not good enough for you??
We gonna mix hydroquinone n retinol?
It's not retinol in the video - it's tretinoin
@@Dr_Absr v suppose to mix both the ointments together in pea size n apply on face
Yes
@@Dr_Abs thank u doc
@@Dr_Abs doc can tis b used along wit axis y cream ?
Sir kindly give chart in prescription form coz I don’t understand English so well …..
I don't quite understand your comment, sorry
Hi! Another question. I have gotten triamcinolone acetonide with azaleic acid for my melasma. I am 24 and have a lot of spots. I am very sad and can't find anywhere if the cream I got does something for anyone with melasma. Does someone know this? I can't use Hydroquinone because I am between skiptype 1-3...
It's okay for melasma but it's not the strongest tbh. For acne and pigmentation together I've always managed to do it without using things like triam on any skin type
@@Dr_Abs I am sorry I don't really understand your last sentence. What do you mean? Is triamcinolone not good? Also, can I use this now or should I wait for after my summer vacation with this stuff?
Hi sir my Skin baby birth after pigmitation started how to cure my face plz reply.now iam using amway product face wash and scrub. Its product best or not plz reply.
Impossible to say over a UA-cam comment with no consultation unfortunately
Working form hong Kong I have alot melasma what the best cream for light my melasma
Probably the same as what's in the video without being able to examine you in person
Hlw
I used skin lite for melasma it worked.but when i stop it became very ugly
Right same issue
do you have a natural way to deal with this issue?
Everything is natural as it comes from the world around us
Can i(male) use fefolvit and evion 400 for hyperpigmentation and melasma? And can with both of these i apply dirmoteen cream to my face, especially the affected area?
Unfortunately Id need to see a full medical history before giving a medcation regime a confirmation or change advice, sorry
Hello, Doctor. I'm a bit confused. Can I use hydroquinone 4% + tretinoin 0.1% every night for my melasma treatment? Is it okay?
I've had patients do that with no problems but to start you may want to use the tret slowly
Sir I have melasma on cheeks and nose what can i do to get rid off it please help me with that
A consultation requires much more information than that as well as an examination of the skin in some way. It would be impossible to diagnose and treatment plan over a youtube comment.
Just eat healthy. Lots of vitamin c and foods with lots of vitamin A and nuts. It will eventually go without applying unnecessary chemicals on your face.
Hi doctor
I used triluma for 3 months and it's almost gone. Please tell what should I use to maintain the results
Thank you
Hi strength vitamin a is a good idea. Check my video out about using just one product in your skincare 😁
Hello! do you ship the products also to Europe?
For the prescription service? Yeah they ship around the world 😁
I'm from India and has prominent melasma on cheeks and currently am doing nothing for its treatment , plzz help me.
The principles in this video would still apply. You may need to combine with clinical devices for extra strength in fighting it potentially. Without seeing your skin or taking a medical history etc it's so difficult to offer individual advice
What to do after 3 months of treatment doc .
@@Dr_AbsWhat to do after 3 months of treatment doc , my melasma has almost disappeared , now help me with the mentainance or please suggest some safe cream for maintenance because i have realised my skin went thin after this treatment.
@@nishsays3140 Sure, take a look at the Melasma kit from Eucerin
@@nishsays3140how did you treat your melasma? I’ve been doing everything literally everything but it won’t go away. Please help me
Good day Doc.. I'm Genie Tee Ellis from Philippines..
I have a Melasma at my check area fit about 3 years now.
I currently using kojic soap evey morning, aha bha every weekend..plus sunscreen rinted spf 50 at Daytime,and reapply it every 2 hours,,.
vitamin c serum at night time, retinol plus niacinamide ..
It goes into my skin..it lighten up..
But my Melasma is still there.. I heard about your channel and i like and try to use hydroquinone..but im scared ..i need your advice Doc..
Its still there because your routine is quite weak: retinol is a weak form of vitamin A compared to others, aha/bha once a week is a low frequency, suncream needs to be certain types, vitamin c has many forms and concentrations, niacinamide also has many concentrations.
A stronger retinoid like a prescription one + prescription pigment inhibitor + protecting eyes with sunglasses + avoiding sun with umbrella/hat etc on top of SPF is a good start. Then something can be added to boost the result like Sciton BBL to remove the pigmentation in 1 or 2 treatments usually.
How to order?
dr does hydroquinone reduce skin elastin and cause aging or is that fear mongering
I haven't seen any evidence to suggest that it can do that when used in sensible amounts under medical supervision
What if i got pigmentation due to usage of retenols or steroids?... Kimdy reply
Then it was potentially the reaction to the ingredients rather than the ingredients themselves working by increasing pigmentation physiologically. You would probably need to change the way those nutrients are given to the skin (concentration, form etc).
@@Dr_Abs yes kindly help me out
@@Dr_Abs I had severe purgings on under nose and surrounding mouth areas. After applying tranexamic acid it is ok. But the discoloration is severe now. I tried most of lightening creams. Now I simply left
I’m caught by everything you have mentioned here, got a peel and did absolutely nothing for me 😭how do I go about getting a prescription from you?
There's a link in the description for that :)
@@Dr_Absi just find a link to a website not for prescription 😢
Azelaic acid and tretinoin can be applied together plis let me know?
Yes
Hi doctor can i do acupuncture for melasma?
Personally, I've never seen evidence to suggest it can have an effect.
@@Dr_Abs can i use glutathion iv along with ascobin acid 50mg and azelaic acid ointment
The IV might help but without the kind of ingredients in the video going directly into the skin you still struggle to see a result
@@Dr_Abs thankuu doctor😍
Pls help me treat my melasma im from the phillipines. But i have allergies and i dont know what to use for my melsma. Pls help me
Write out what products you're using and have tried in the past + your allergies here and I can try to help.
I have tried lots of chemical peels, peeling creams ,tretinoin ,kojic acid salicylic acid ,soap arbutin
If I stop using these products than will it get worst ????
Pigmentation can always come back for any patient. Maintenance can be different for everyone too, some might be okay to stop and just use suncream with a pigment inhibitor once in a while and others might need regular anti-pigment cream everyday because they live in a very sunny country.
Hi Doc what is the cause for this disease?
Noone knows the exact cause or set of causes unfortunately
Can I use during pregnancy too?
Pls can u explain how these products work in clearing melasma.
Dear Dr Abs
I have a stubborn freckle age brown spot above my cheekbones please advise how to treat this brown spot
Thank you so much
Can't say for certain without a consultation but check out something like Sciton BBL
hlo doc i am from nepal.i have melasma from my pregnancy.i did the treatment aswell but not so effective.can you help me out
Very difficult to help with a small amount of info from a youtube comment and no consultation / medical history / pics / clinical history etc unfortunately
@@Dr_Abs how can i communicate with you
i have been suffering from melasma since i got pregnant in 2019 and from pregnancy to delivery almost two years of breastfeeding i just used sunscreen and some home remedies after that i went to dermatologist i had very expensive treatment like chemical peeling tca and microneedling aswell and i didnt get the effective result its just like when u doing peeling or needling its just like for a month.as doc suggested right nw i m using
in the morning niacinamide bioderma moisturiser and drjk sunscreen and in the night time 4%hydroqunion and a moisturiser thats all i m using rt nw.
I'd probably look at something like differin morning and evening and then in the evening using something like cyspera system if hydroquinone hasn't worked. It's probably about £200-210 if you'd like a prescription to try that.
@@Dr_Abs i think in my country its not possible to get this product.
nice
Can I have script
I have a melasma for over a years now.. huhubu
Dr.Abs, you haven't mentioned how long this needs to be applied for. As far as I know, if we are using Hydroquinone, you need to go back to your dermatologist who will advise when to stop.
It's a matter of controversy unfortunately. I've had patients that never stop and are fine.
Is it safe to use while pregnant?
Products generally can't be tested for safety during pregnancy so nothing is ever recommended for that time unfortunately. However, I have a friend that's done sunekos on herself during pregnancy and she loved it.
How can I contact u
My instagram is linked in the description
Hi if you suffer with melasma and hypopigmentation what can i do?
HypO or HypER?
@@Dr_Abs hypo
That would need clinical treatment. There is currently evidence to support narrow-band UVB therapy but there is nothing 100% guaranteed atm unfortunately. The requirement for vitamin A shouldn't change though so I'd still recommend using things like the tretinoin mentioned in the video.
@@Dr_AbsThanks , do you think stopping HQ, as I’m stopping melanin production which is resulting hypo. Also how can I re pigment areas that are suffering from hypo. (Pityriasis alba)
Ask any doctor there is no cure melasma, it will always come back
Agree
