Black Patches Around Lips After Stopping Melacare For Pigmentation. Prescribed Yougaurd Cream
3years before I was using melacare for pigmentation . Then after that whenI stop using that,i get black patches around my lips (upper lips and lower lips).It looks very ugly.Then I went for OLIVA (a skin clinic in hYderabad).BUt did not get expected result,but spent much money. Now they have recommended to use YOUGAURD creme for 3 month..But i am scared,that will that cause the same effect again like MELACARE ? Will it cause any effect if I will stop using YOUGAURD cream? Please help me .

Hi,
YOUGAURD cream contains only retinol; while Melacare contains a combination of hydroquinone/tretionin/mometasone.
The effects of yougaurd are not the same as melacare, even if you stop it.
Consult always your dermatologist.
Take care!
