Abstract Background Melasma is an acquired pigmentary disorder characterized by symmetrical hyperpigmentation of the face. Treatment of melasma is unsatisfactory most of the times and comes with various side effects such as contact dermatitis, irritation and scarring. Objective To compare efficacy of hydroquinone versus hydroquinone plus tretinoin plus topical steroids in patients with melasma. Methods This randomized Controlled Trial was conducted in Department of Dermatology, Nishtar Medical University, Multan from 15th February 2019 to 15th August 2019. A total of 114 patients were divided in two groups, Group A, having 57 patients, was treated with hydroquinone cream once daily at bed time while group B, having 57 patients, was treated with combination therapy. Baseline and post-treatment MASI scores were calculated and patients were assessed weekly till 12 weeks and the efficacy of the treatment was documented. Efficacy was measured in terms of at least 50% reduction of MASI score after 12 weeks of therapy, compared with baseline MASI score. Results This study comprised of a total of 114 patients meeting our inclusion criteria. Of these 114, 37 (32.5%) were male patients while 77 (67.5%) were female patients.
