Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Melasma is a common hyperpigmentation disorder with numerous, but often unsatisfactory treatment options.
AIMS: A pilot study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel topical combination of 12% hydroquinone, 6% kojic acid, and 5% vitamin C cream for melasma.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: A pilot study of 6 women with melasma was conducted at an academic dermatology department and a private dermatology practice to evaluate the efficacy of a topical combination of 12% hydroquinone, 6% kojic acid, and 5% vitamin C cream, entitled the "Tam Formula." Two blinded evaluators calculated Melasma Area and Severity Index (MASI) Scores before and after treatment to evaluate change from baseline, and statistical analysis was performed.
RESULTS: Treatment with this combination topical cream resulted in an average 63.77 ± 22.10 percent reduction in MASI scores.
CONCLUSIONS: While there is a need for further investigation, this pilot study indicates the Tam Formula may provide an alternative treatment option for melasma.
