Melasma and birth control...please help.
by AZSkin, May 21, 2009 02:40PM
I am a 28 year old female. I have been on birth control for the past 13 years (Ortho and Yazmin).
I am fair skinned and live in AZ (enough said).
About a year ago, melasma broke out all over my face (the classical butterfly pattern).
After trying multiple products, I finally quit birth control and had a heavy face peel as well as now being on Obagi skin bleach.
However, I am not comfortable being completely off birth control.
My doctor has offered to prescribe me Orcella tablets which is a progesterone only pill (no estrogen).
However, I will do anything for the melasma not to come back!!!!
Will these pills perhaps cause any melasma again?
Thanks so much.
