Although the skin problem&#8217;s exact cause is unknown, facial melasma can be triggered by excessive sun exposure, pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormone therapy. While melasma can affect, it is more common among women with darker skin tones.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Triluma cream may improve the\nappearance of facial melasma, but it is not a cure and should always be used\nwith sun avoidance measures. Protect your skin using an SPF of 30 or higher and\nwearing protective clothing. It is important to note that even a small amount\nof exposure to the sun can trigger or worsen melasma. The more you know this\nskin condition, the better you can control its impact. Ask your dermatologist\nfor more details and if FDA-approved Triluma cream is appropriate.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Side Effects of Triluma<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some patients may get severe allergic reactions to Tri-luma cream due to sulfites in the formulation. In some cases, these allergic adverse effects may contribute to severe asthma attacks that can be life-threatening. While you apply <strong>Triluma cream<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumrxdrugs.com\/triluma-cream.html\">,<\/a> your skin develops mild to moderate redness, itching, burning, dryness, and peeling. Because this melasma formulation carries a corticosteroid medicine as one of its active components, some side effects have been reported with regular application of corticosteroids on the skin. These include dryness, itching, irritation, acne, hair follicle infection, skin thinning, sweat problems, stretch marks, and skin infection.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, corticosteroids may\nproduce reversible effects on the adrenal gland called\nhypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression, so it is important to inform\nyour healthcare provider if you are already dealing with a condition that may\ninterfere with your adrenal function, such as Addison&#8217;s disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some patients, Tri-luma cream\ncan cause dark spots on their skin, increased skin sensitivity, acne, tingling,\nacne, rash, and skin redness caused by rosacea, blisters, skin bumps, or blood\nvessels showing through the skin. The triple combination cream may also cause\nblue-black skin darkening; if this occurs, discontinue melasma treatment\nimmediately and talk to your dermatologist. If you are concerned about&nbsp;how\nyour skin reacts to this melasma preparation, speak to your\ndermatologist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Things to avoid while using\nTriluma cream<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One should avoid natural\nsunlight and sunlamp\/tanning booths. Triluma cream may increase your risk of sunburn\nor developing other unwanted effects from the sun&#8217;s ultraviolet rays. Your\nexisting patches may also become darker when your skin is exposed to sunlight.\nAny level of sun exposure can trigger melasma, and you don&#8217;t have to develop\nsunburned to make your melasma worse. Skin protection against the sun is key to\npreventing the darkening of existing dark patches and the formation of new\nones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, staying away from\nthe sun is especially important for women on contraceptives or hormone\nreplacement therapy and for people who have developed patches in the\npast.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to follow these\nguidelines regarding sun exposure when using Triluma cream:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use good quality sunscreen when you step out, even on hazy days. Use sunblock year-round in areas of the skin that are exposed to sunlight, such as your face and hands. If possible, try to protect your treated area from sun exposure.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you\ncan&#8217;t resist sun exposure and spend much time in the sun, be especially\ncareful. Discuss with your dermatologist what level of SPF you may need for a\nhigh level of protection. Your protective clothing should also include a\nhat.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Melasma in men and women can be lightened with <strong>Triluma cream<\/strong>, making them barely visible. Melasma therapy can completely transform the skin.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Takeaway!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Triluma cream is the only FDA-approved topical treatment available for treating dark spots associated with moderate to severe facial melasma for the short term for up to eight weeks.
