About Melalite Forte Cream

Melalite Forte Cream treats melasma (dark brown patch on skin) and hyperpigmentation. It helps clear the complexion, acne scars, and photoaging (premature skin ageing caused by repeated exposure to UV radiation). Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition in which patches of skin become darker in colour than the normal surrounding skin. Melasma is a common skin problem that causes dark, discoloured patches on your skin. Dark spots occur when some skin areas start producing more melanin (a natural pigment that gives colour to eyes, hair and skin), ranging from light to dark brown.

Melalite Forte Cream contains Hydroquinone (skin lightening or bleaching agent), which decreases the amount of melanin (a skin pigment) responsible for darkening the skin.

Melalite Forte Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth, and nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, rinse with water immediately. Do not use Melalite Forte Cream on sunburned, windburned, dry, or irritated skin. Common side effects of Melalite Forte Cream include dry skin, erythema (skin redness), burning sensation, mild itching, and skin irritation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your physician.

Avoid using Melalite Forte Cream if allergic to it. Melalite Forte Cream can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight; hence, always use sunscreen and protective clothing before you step outdoors. Care should be taken while applying Melalite Forte Cream on sensitive areas, such as the neck. Please limit the use of products that contain large amounts of alcohol (astringents, shaving creams, or after-shave lotions), hair removal products, and products containing lime or spices while using Melalite Forte Cream. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or a breastfeeding mother. Melalite Forte Cream is not recommended for children below 12 years of age.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include protein-rich foods such as yoghurt, chicken and eggs in your diet, as there is a loss of protein through burn wounds and the breakdown of muscles to produce extra energy for the healing process. The additional protein is required to rebuild lost muscle.
  • Add more carbohydrates to your diet, such as potatoes, beans, and rice, as glucose in carbohydrates is essential for healing.
  • Eat foods rich in quercetin (a flavonoid), such as apples, cherries, broccoli, spinach, and blueberries.
  • Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, and avoid drinking sugary beverages.
  • Always wear full clothes or wear sun protection before going under the sun; it will protect your skin from sun damage.
  • Please do not use harsh products on your skin as they damage it.
  • Keep your skin moisturized to avoid dry skin.
