What should I eat to reduce melasma?

Eating a healthy and balanced diet is important for reducing and preventing melasma. Consuming foods that are high in antioxidants and vitamins C and E can help protect your skin from UV damage and reduce the appearance of melasma. Foods such as citrus fruits, dark green leafy vegetables, and nuts are all good sources of these nutrients. Additionally, avoiding foods that are high in sugar and processed carbohydrates can help reduce melasma.

What is the fastest way to cure melasma?

The fastest way to cure melasma is to use a combination of topical creams, sunscreen, and/or laser treatments. Topical creams may include hydroquinone, retinoids, and azelaic acid, which can help reduce the appearance of dark spots. Sunscreen can help protect the skin from further damage. Laser treatments such as intense pulsed light (IPL) or fractional laser resurfacing can also help reduce the appearance of melasma. However, it is important to get a diagnosis from a board-certified dermatologist before pursuing any of these treatments.
