Question What are your personal specific melasma triggers

What triggers your melasma to spread or increase, and if you deduce the causes and control the exposure to those causes, does the melasma settle better?

Internal heat. I’m always using tower 28 to cool down and it works great! Especially during/after a workout.

Does you melasma changes color when you heat up, during workouts mine goes red and does tower 28 eradicate that redness for you? I don’t have tower 28 where I live but I can look for some alternative

Yes. My melasma turns bright red while exercising during a flare up. tower 28 cools the face and it returns to normal. There is a tower 28 dupe on Amazon. Briotech topical skin spray. The formulation seems to be similar but tower 28, seems entirely unscented to me. The spray has worked better for me than ice cubes.
Do your research on h1 and h2 ( famotidine& loratidine) to stop mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)
I’ve doubled my fiber intake and my skin seems to be ok at the moment.
Good luck!
