Hello,
Thanx for writing at HCM,
Melaglow is a steroid cream...it should not be used more than 2-3 months...as it can make your skin more sensitive towards sun light and can cause acne,rash,and infection....
You have to use proper sunscreen cream regular for 3 times...then only you can protect your skin from harmful uv rays of sunlight...
Don't stop melaglow suddenly but stop it gradually and consult with Dermatologist....
Hope this will help...
Take care...

our skin has melanin pigment which is protective for the skin against radiation cancers etc..when in excess at certain areas can cause pigments..
megaglow has has hydroquinone and steroids which on long term can cause side effects like dryness,rash,redness,itching or more serious effects..
consult your dermatologist and use it as the drs advice..bye take care
