Can I Take Melgain To Treat White Spot On Arm Due To Hypo-pigmentation?
I have got a very tiny white spot on my arm from about 1 month. I consulted 2 dermatologists and both said its hypo pigmentation because of some injury or mosquito bite. One has prescribed me melgain for a month twice a day and other for 15 days once at night. Can you guide me as to its usage

Hello and welcome to HCM,
I read your query and understood your concern. Melgain lotion is peptides that stimulate the formation of melanocytes.
I advise the patient to apply melgain at night for better compliance. There is no study that states twice a day application has better results.
However you may not see desired results in just 15 days. Results are usually seen in about 1-2 months. Continue applying it.
Hope I helped.
