Oral Isotretinoin in Melasma a Randomized Controlled Trial

Recruiting
18-50 years
Both
Phase 1

Melasma is a skin condition causing dark, discolored patches, often on the face. It's challenging to treat and can affect self-esteem due to its appearance. This study explores using an oral medication called isotretinoin for melasma. Isotretinoin is a drug often used for severe acne, but its impact on melasma hasn't been studied yet. The goal is to see if isotretinoin works well and is safe compared to the usual topical creams used for melasma.

  • Study Length: Participants need to follow the study's requirements throughout its duration, which will be specified by the researchers.
  • Eligibility: Participants should be aged 18-50, have melasma, and meet other health criteria. Women must use two types of birth control.
  • Risks: Isotretinoin can have side effects; participants will be monitored to ensure their safety.

This study is important because it might offer a new way to help people with melasma. Volunteers will be carefully selected to ensure safety and accurate results. 🌟
