Start my assessmentYes, in many cases. You answer a few questions and upload photos, and a Canadian-licensed medical professional reviews them. Your clinician first checks that online care is suitable for you. Some people need in-person care or specialist monitoring, and your clinician will tell you.
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or grey-brown patches, most often on the cheeks, forehead, nose and upper lip. The patches are usually symmetrical. Melasma is harmless, but it can be hard to treat.
Melasma comes from pigment cells that react to sun, visible light and hormones. Pregnancy and hormonal contraceptives are common triggers, and so is family history. Heat and some skin products may add to it.
Melasma is most common in women in their reproductive years, and in people with deeper skin tones. It can also affect men. Sun exposure raises the risk for everyone.
Melasma is described by how deep the pigment sits: in the upper layer, in the deeper layer or a mix of both. Pigment in the upper layer tends to respond best to treatment. Your clinician reviews your photos and history to guide the plan.
Topical options include hydroquinone, tretinoin and azelaic acid, used alone or in combination. For some people, your clinician may consider oral tranexamic acid after reviewing your history, including any risk of blood clots. Your clinician decides what fits you.
Most people see a gradual change after several weeks, and a full course usually lasts several months. Melasma is controlled, not cured. Patches can come back, especially with sun, so a maintenance plan matters.
Creams can cause dryness, redness, peeling or stinging, especially at first. Hydroquinone is used for a limited time, and your clinician sets how long. Oral treatment has its own risks, which your clinician explains before you start.
It is the most important part of treatment. Sun and visible light darken melasma and can undo your progress. Use a broad-spectrum tinted sunscreen with iron oxide every day, reapply outdoors and wear a hat.
Melasma linked to pregnancy may fade after delivery. Melasma linked to other causes often stays unless it is treated. Your clinician can help you find the plan that fits your case.
Tell your clinician if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy. Some melasma medicines are not used in pregnancy. Your clinician will suggest options that are safe for you.
Have any dark patch that is new, changing, uneven in colour or edge, or that bleeds checked in person, since these can be signs of skin cancer. Seek care if the patches do not improve or if your skin becomes very irritated. Your clinician tells you if your case needs an in-person visit.
Each consultation costs CA$175. Your pharmacy charges separately for medication. Ask your insurer whether your plan covers the prescribed treatment.
