Melasma

Hello All,I have a condition known as melasma.  It is a darkening of the skin that affects many women and men.   I noticed it really coming on a couple of years ago and would not go away--I was so unsure about what it was that i thought that maybe i was in the sun too much.  Unfortunately, I've realized that although the sun is bad for it--it is an internal issue.  I found that it started getting worse ans subsequently was diagnosed with a thyroid issue and the thyroid meds was making it worse.off topic---thyroid issues are horrible--loss of hair, darkening of skin, sleeplessness, ARGH!!!!I have been on a few meds for a bit retin a, glycolic pads, etc...they are talking about doing some lasering but i am unsure of how i feel about it.  I'm wondering if anyone has had any results with tca peels, laser surgery or if anyone has melasma.....hoping to hear from you all ;)
