It's important to understand how Melabest works and how to use it safely.

• Components and Their Roles: Melabest contains three active ingredients:

  • Hydroquinone (2%): Helps lighten dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
  • Mometasone (0.1%): A potent steroid that reduces inflammation.
  • Tretinoin (0.025%): Promotes skin cell turnover, improving skin texture and tone.

• Cautions with Mometasone: Since mometasone is a strong steroid, using it regularly or for a long time can lead to side effects such as skin thinning, irritation, or even worsening pigmentation.

• Use Under Medical Supervision: This combination cream should be used carefully and only under the guidance of a dermatologist. Unsupervised or prolonged use can cause unwanted effects.

• Duration and Frequency: Typically, such creams are prescribed for limited periods with breaks in between. Continuous long-term use is generally not recommended.

• Next Steps: Please consult a dermatologist who can provide personalized advice, monitor your skin’s response, and adjust treatment as needed to ensure safety and effectiveness.

If you notice any unusual skin reactions or worsening symptoms, seek medical advice promptly. For emergencies, contact Apollo Emergency at 1066.
