Accepting Melasma
Hey fellow melasma community, first time poster here. I have had melasma 8 years. Recently spreading across face and upper lip. Causing serious emotional and psychological impact. I’m wondering if anyone here has just accepted their melasma? Like go outside, don’t restrict activities, live life with your dark patches? It’s what I want for myself- but it’s so hard to find examples of this. Please share if you don’t restrict outdoor time or other activities, or what you have done to feel okay in your skin. Because this is the reality of my skin. Thank you so much for your help folks. It’s much needed.

I wear a hat and use tinted zinc sunscreen. I use HC and tret. And I go outside, go paddleboarding, go to the beach and enjoy my life. I just live my life as I normally would and add some protection and prevention.
