Hi Doctors,I have same problem which others have I m using Melacare Cream last from last 2.5 years and I became fair when try to stop but face got dark. But when climate is hot my face get red. So help me how to keep my skin fair without using melcare.
Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at ChatDoctorMelacare cream contains mometasone which is a potent steroid. It should not be used on face because prolonged use can lead to steroid related side effects like acne, photosensitivity, skin thinning and telangiectasis, facial hair growth specially in females.-I would have advised you to use a non-comedogenic moisturizer to calm down the skin.-Use a non-soap based cleanser twice daily and avoid using soap on face till your skin recovers back to its original state.-It is advisable to use a Broad Spectrum sunscreen with both UV A and UV B throughout the day OR whenever stepping out in the sun because skin damaged by steroids is photosensitive and itches and burns on sun exposure, till the skin recovers back to its original stage. In addition to the sunscreen usage of umbrellas, scarfs etc. as a general sun protective behavior helps skin lightening cream at night containing one or more of the following ingredients like comic acid, glycolic acid, albumin, betray Chat Doctor.
