A member asked:
23 year old caucasian who developed what appears to be melasma on upper lip. can this fade on its own? will birth control help to reduce the apearance
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May: Birth control pills can cause melasma and will not make it better. There is a chance that it will fade over time on its own but it is doubtful that it will go away completely. Hope this helps.
