I would like some advice I have been suffering with the efects of cloasma for the past year, but it has got much worst! I have had a alcohol problem most my life, but i have stopped drinking in hope that it may clear up the cloasma, I have it on my entire face just about, and it makes me feel very unattactive, the strange thing is that I have suffered with bouts of it in the past, and one time when i gave up smoking and drinking for about three months, it totally disapeared. But it has come back, I did start smoking and drinking again, smoking for one year, and I have given up drinking for about one month now! maybe not long enough !!! this time it has not cleared up even after giving up drinking and smoking. The doctor has done recent test, and it has showed up that everything was fine apart for the fact that I had a low, cortisol level, I was told that this has not cuase or effect in my chloasma condition, but I am left to wonder? Any advice is much apprecciated as I am very desperate for some help in understanding cloasma.
