Hi doc! I have some brown spots on my face. very small and light. ( excessive exposure to sun- I am pilot) My treatment started with Melalite- for about 3 months. There was no progress then another dermatologist prescribed Niltan ( Dr Reddys) . I used it for about 4 months . There was no effect.The treatment was changed to chemical peel Glycolic acid 50 % I have undergone 6 sessions with upto 5 minute exposures. At night I use glyco ( 12 %). Though overall complexion has improved- the spots are still there. Dont seem to have lightened.

Hi,
So far you have received correct treatment .
If melasma brown spots are not fading you should undergo spot TCA peel for 1-2 sittings .It will help a lot.Also you can use Triglow cream daily at night time over the brown spots .you can wash the cream after 1 hour of application.
This will help a lot.
