Thank you for sharing your story and photos. It's so helpful to know that I'm not alone in this battle. You have made SO much progress, and your skin looks great! In my research on this topic, I came across the use of GSE (grapefruit seed extract) as a way to combat this problem. I've been taking it for about two months now and it's really helping my melasma fade. I guess that melasma can form as a result of candida, and the GSE kills that. Congratulations on all your success. I'll be checking back periodically to see how you are doing. Thank you!
