Hello,
First of all, it is better to know the diagnosis and some other details about your mom’s medical history.
Melacare Cream is a topical skin cream used to treat various skin disorders. Mostly, it is used as a skin whitening agent and for the treatment of acne. It works as a skin-bleaching agent to remove the dark spots on the skin caused due to trauma, eczema, pregnancy, hormone replacement etc. Melacare cream is a skin-bleaching agent that is used to treat and prevent the following skin conditions:
• Dark pigmentation
• Age spots
• Acne vulgaris
• Wrinkles
• Redness of skin
• Itching and rashes
• Skin inflammation
• Brown spot reduction
• Freckles
Without details about medical history, I can not suggest you other medication. Please talk to your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
