Question 1

What is the use of TINTIN MH CREAM?

Accepted Answer

TINTIN MH CREAM is used to treat melasma (dark brown patch on skin).

Question 2

How does TINTIN MH CREAM work?

Accepted Answer

TINTIN MH CREAM contains Hydroquinone, Mometasone and Tretinoin. Hydroquinone is a skin lightening agent that works by decreasing the amount of melanin (a skin pigment) that is responsible for the darkening of the skin. Mometasone is a corticosteroid that acts inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. Tretinoin belongs to the class of retinoids (man-made vitamin A) that works by increasing the renewal of skin cells which helps in natural exfoliation of skin’s outer layers.

Question 3

Does TINTIN MH CREAM make skin sensitive to sunlight?

Accepted Answer

Yes, TINTIN MH CREAM may increase the skin sensitivity to sunlight in the treated areas. Therefore, avoid or limit exposure to sunlight and sunlamps. You are advised to use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing while going out to prevent sunburn.

Question 4

Does TINTIN MH CREAM cause skin irritation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, TINTIN MH CREAM may cause skin irritation, burning sensation or itching at the site of application in rare cases. However, if the irritation persists or worsens, stop using TINTIN MH CREAM and consult a doctor.

Question 5

Can I use moisturizer with TINTIN MH CREAM?

Accepted Answer

You are advised to use moisturizer in the morning every day to restore fat barrier of the skin that protects the skin from damage. TINTIN MH CREAM may make the skin more sensitive to extreme weather conditions such as cold and wind. Therefore, wear protective clothing and use moisturizer as required. However, please consult a doctor before using moisturizing lotions or any other products with TINTIN MH CREAM.

Question 6

Is TINTIN MH CREAM used to treat diaper rash?

Accepted Answer

No, TINTIN MH CREAM is not used to treat diaper rash as using TINTIN MH CREAM under child’s nappy enables TINTIN MH CREAM to pass through the skin easily and cause adverse effects. However, please consult a doctor before using TINTIN MH CREAM in children.

Question 7

Can I use TINTIN MH CREAM with benzoyl peroxide?

Accepted Answer

You are not recommended to use TINTIN MH CREAM with benzoyl peroxide, hydrogen peroxide or any other peroxide products as it may cause staining of the skin which can be usually removed with soap and water. However, please consult a doctor before using other medicines with TINTIN MH CREAM.

Question 8

How long should I use TINTIN MH CREAM?

Accepted Answer

You are recommended to use TINTIN MH CREAM for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. However, avoid using TINTIN MH CREAM for more than 6 to 8 weeks without doctor’s advice.

Question 9

Does TINTIN MH CREAM affects working of hormonal contraceptives?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal contraceptives like oral/vaginal birth control pills, injections, implants, skin patches, and vaginal rings can cause melasma to get worse. So, it is advisable to ask your doctor about using non-hormonal birth control (condom, diaphragm with spermicide) instead.
