Skin Troubles: Melasma
After being on 3+ years of fertility drugs, I have had a lot of trouble with Melasma (mask of pregnancy). It appeared after using Follistim for ~1 year, and got much worse after IVF and into pregnancy. (So bad, my patients kept asking me if I had something on my lip, or if I had been out in the sun too much!) It has faded somewhat since giving birth last June, but it is still pretty bad. I exfoliate my face once a day, use SPF 70+ and wear a hat when outside, and moisturize. I am still breastfeeding, so I can't take the prescription...
