Can I use melabest regularly

Melabest Cream contains Hydroquinone 2%, Mometasone 0.1%, and Tretinoin 0.025%, a triple combination used for short-term treatment of melasma and hyperpigmentation. It should not be used regularly or for prolonged periods without medical supervision, as long-term use may cause skin thinning, steroid-induced acne, rebound hyperpigmentation, and increased sensitivity. The cream should be applied only for the duration prescribed by a dermatologist, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen should be used during the day to prevent further pigmentation and protect the treated skin.

I used Melabest cream for two years, but after stopping, my skin became highly sensitive, itchy, and developed severe dark spots. What medicated cream can you suggest to treat these side effects and safely restore my skin tone?

Melabest contains a strong steroid, hydroquinone, and tretinoin. Using it for two years has damaged your skin barrier, causing steroid-induced sensitivity and rebound pigmentation. To safely restore your skin, avoid self-medicating with other bleaching creams. First, focus on healing your skin barrier: use a gentle, fragrance-free ceramide moisturizer and apply a broad-spectrum physical sunscreen (SPF 50) daily to prevent further darkening. For the itching, a soothing cream with calamine or zinc oxide can help. Please consult a dermatologist immediately. They can safely prescribe non-steroidal treatments like Azelaic acid to fade the spots without causing further damage.

I have black pigmentation on my face, specifically around the maxilla and chin areas. Can I use Melabest cream to reduce this pigmentation?

Melabest cream can help reduce dark facial pigmentation, but you should not use it without a dermatologist's prescription. It is a strong triple-combination cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a steroid. While effective, improper or long-term use can cause severe side effects like skin thinning, redness, or even permanent worsening of the dark spots. A doctor must evaluate your skin to ensure it is safe for you and to advise on the correct duration of use. Additionally, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily is essential, as UV rays will quickly reverse any progress made by the cream.

My skin became red and have burning sensation

Please discontinue the use of Melabest Cream immediately to prevent further irritation. Gently cleanse the affected area with lukewarm water, avoiding scrubbing, and apply a mild, fragrance-free moisturiser to help soothe the skin. Protect the area from sun exposure, as irritated skin can be more sensitive. It is advisable to consult a dermatologist promptly, who can assess the reaction and recommend appropriate treatment, such as topical therapy or other supportive care.
