hello,
melacare cream is a corticosteroid,
The recommended dose of Melacare Cream is once a day. Apply a thin film of the cream to the affected area. Rub it in until the cream dissolves. Do not use Melacare for more dosage often than prescribed by your doctor.
as you worried about hair growth-
Topical corticosteroids promote excessive hair growth.
If they are used for long periods, they can occasionally cause a temporary, mild increase in fine hair growth in the treated areas, although this is rare. Frequent scratching can also cause a temporary, mild increase in fine hair growth.
Hope it helps, Take care & plz do keep me posted on how you doing or if you have any additional doubts
Kind regards
