Pigmentation The True Cure with Homeopathy
pigmentation also called as melasma or chloasma, facial pigmentation is characterized by brownish blotchy discoloration on the face that usually develops over a period of time. The pigmentation is due to the overproduction of the melanin (pigment that gives color to our skin) by the pigment cells called as melanocytes. Although melasma is a simple disorder and does not have any severe medical implication on the body but it can cause a severe cosmetic concern.
This at times leads to a psychological stress for the patient. Homeopathy medicines provide an effective and a safe alternative to get rid of this unwanted discoloration.
Pigmentation affects the forehead ,cheeks, upper lips and across the bridge of the nose and is characterized by dark skin-colored discoloration. This discolorations can occur in small patches called as macules (they look like freckles) or may occur in large dark brown colored patches. Occasionally it can extend to neck and upper arms. The incident of melasma is much more in women than men. Only one in twenty affected, is a male. Pigmentation usually starts between the ages of late twenties and forty. People with light brown skin complexion and who are living in conditions where the sun exposure is high, have a high susceptibility to develop it.
pigmentation (Melasma) is usually of two types the epidermal or the dermal melasma. Epidermal melasma is a result of pigmentation in superficial layers of the skin- has a well defined border, is darker in color and responds very fast to homeopathic treatment. The dermal melasma which is a result of pigmentation in the deeper layers of the skin- has ill defined borders, is light in color and responds slow even to homeopathic treatments.
Pigmentation or Melasma occurs due to excess of pigments produced by melanocytes (pigment producing cells).This overproduction is stimulated by the female hormones when the skin is exposed to the sun. Genetic factors play a very strong role in the development of melasma. More than 30% of patients have a family history of melasma. Development of melasma during and after pregnancy is a very common feature; people with thyroid problems tend to develop melasma. Females on contraceptive pills and also during menopause are at a high risk of developing a melasma. Melasma can also be triggered by stress and by allergic reactions to certain cosmetics and medications.
Chronic or strong exposure to sun may precipitate discoloration and also worsen it. This is usually very difficult for the patient to realize, as the development of the melasma is a very slow process.
Homeopathy has a strong edge over the conventional methods used to treat melasma; the treatment of melasma with homeopathy is from inside of the body and is directed at removing the trigger factor which is stimulating the overproduction of pigment in the skin. Homeopathic medicine Sepia stands at the top of the table for treating melasma that is influenced by hormonal disturbances. Sepia acts very fast to treat the epidermal melasma caused by pregnancy. Homeopathic medicine Kali Carb also works wonders in treating post partum melasma. Thuja works for melasma that is induced by overexposure to sun. Dermal melasma’s are also treatable with homeopathy and but usually require a prolonged treatment before any sustainable and appreciable result is achieved.

Hello Dr.Sharma,
I am 41 yr old male having Melasma since last 5 years. I have consulted many Allopathy and Ayurvedic doctors but all in vain. I have a family history for this issue…everyone in my family having Melasma.
Do you recommend any Homeopathy medicine for Melasma!!
Regards,
Naveen
hii doctor my name is kowsalya i m sufering with pigmentation since 1year . my age is 23years.kindly suggest me the best medicine in homeo i m really stressed this problem plz help me. i would be greatly thankful to you.
Hi there,
Like the rest here, I too have Melasma and it all started to show after I had my second child in my early thirties. I’ve always had acne-prone skin and scars show easily since I’m tan/olive skin (much like the picture above). I experienced bad cystic acne after breastfeeding after my second child and to add to my stress about 2 years after my Melasma appeared.
It’s now on my cheeks and upper lip and it seems to be spotty on my forehead too. I hate this so much! Because I’m dark skinned I’ve been told lasers don’t work and hydroquinone isn’t recommended at all because it can have adverse effects on my skin. I’ve changed my diet and use organic products on my skin, use SPF all the time, but, nothing takes it away. I actually think I have nice skin, but, the melasma makes it look patchy and uneven. Help!
Hello sir
Greetings!
I m 35 years old female . I am sufering from melasma about 10 years when I was 25 years old. I took many treatment but still I have melasma on my whole face. I am total frustrated. Please help me to cure this problem . thank you
Hello!
I just saw your article and decided to write to you, hoping you will help… I’m desperate.
I have same melisma on my face, rather discrete, one should say, but it’s getting worse!
I put sunscreen 50+ every day, but the spots get darker!
It stated last year, with only one spot, disappeared in winter, but came back this spring, even if it wasn’t sunny at all… Now I have it on both sides and upper lips. I do not go to the sun, but even if I walk for a while with my children, with spf, it gets worse!!!
I have 2 children, 3 and 5 years old. I live in north France.
I have white skin, but usually get tanned very fast and never burn. Never had skin problems, no melisma during pregnancies, it started almost 3 years later!
Have some thyroid disorder (Hashimoto), taking Levothyroxin, but decided to reduce doses along with a more natural and homeopathic treatment.
Have had a progesterone IUD for almost 3 years, just got it off.
Got hydroquinone cream, but it is aggressive for my skin and now I have red reactions too…
Please, Doctor, what should I take?
Sepia, Thuya, Sulfur… What posology?
Should I notice improvement and how much time can it take?
Oh, please, I don’t know what to do! Doctors in France do not believe in homeopathy for this problem, and me, I want to believe!
Please, help me!
Thank you so much.

With out explaining as like u mention above (sepia,kali carb or thuja). He has given medicine of cost rs 4500. I do not know whether homeo medicine will cost that much?
