Visiting the Central Dermatology Hospital, Ms. Nguyen Thuy Q. (34 years old, from Hung Ha, Thai Binh) shared that before, her skin did not have melasma, but in the past three years, the melasma condition has been very widespread and widespread. Ms. Q. always has a lot of self-esteem because of melasma. She has used many methods to treat melasma, such as getting hairy apricot leaves to rub on her face, making squash, but the effect is very low.
Ms. Q. was told that betel leaves are covered by an acquaintance that does not treat melasma very effectively, so buy betel leaves or not then put them in a blender to puree it to apply on her face.
She read according to the instructions that people said the burning heat was peeling, freckles, so Ms. Q, persevered. Feeling lighter skin, Mrs. Q. thinks I used it correctly. However, after a few months, the red face went away but turned patchy with a lot of black and white areas.
Or another patient named BTV, (40 years old, from Ha Nam) also went to the Central Dermatology Hospital to examine the patient for lesions with pigmentation and bilateral hyperpigmentation. This patient suffered from cheeks and did not use betel leaves on his face. After a few months of applying, the cheeks were worse, so the patient came to the hospital for examination.
The image of the face is patchy because betel leaves are not.
According to this patient, she received instructions on how to make betel nut not to beautify her face. Buy betel leaves, grind to get the essence and then boil them into glue. Then take the mixture as high and apply to the face 2 times a week.
After a while, the skin lightens up, but 3 or 4 months later, the white rash appears. As a result, Ms. N. and her friend both suffered from increased and decreased pigmentation because of sharing the beauty secrets from betel.
Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Diep, Hanoi Dermatology Hospital also said that the hospital regularly receives patients injured by using betel not to make beauty.

Stage 1 is the quick bleaching phase. Stage 2 is an obvious hyperpigmentation. Stage 3 is hyperpigmentation.
After 2 weeks – 4 weeks after applying betel leaves, patients see a bright, fast and beautiful effect.
Many patients feel excited because they see a good and safe effect because completely extracted from natural leaves, the more diligent you apply and apply the thicker, the more number with the hope that the skin is bright and bright, so you told your friends, People used to use and as a result suffered skin damage from each other.
Dr. Nguyen Van Tam – Central Dermatology Hospital, said that many patients come to the hospital for medical examination because of treating melasma with betel nut balm, not even friends tell each other about beauty and then go to the hospital together due to complications.
There are patients who buy betel extracts, not ready for use, and others buy them to make their own glue to apply their skin. According to BS Tam in betel leaves do not have phenolic compounds that work to whiten skin quickly. This group includes benzene, phenol, catechol, and hydroquinone. If used for a long time, the drug will completely lose the skin color, forming a dot-like depigmentation image on an hyperpigmentation background.
For patients with patchy betel leaves or not, treatment takes 1 year, but there are also cases that do not respond to treatment, so doctors have to implement much more aggressive treatment methods to get results. .
Dr. Tam said that in order to treat melasma, women need medical facilities specialized in dermatology so that doctors can find the cause of melasma, melasma, to provide treatment suitable for the condition of you do not have to tell each other to treat each other and then lead to unfortunate complications.
