Can you tell me if i go on birth control, will i get melasma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If you will develop melasma will depend on the type of birth control. While there is a likelihood that this may happen with combined estrogen/progestin pills, it won't happen with the paragard IUD, for instance.
