Sir, I'm 19 years old and i've been prescribed Mela lite xl by a dermatologist.I just wanted to know about the pros and cons of using it.I'm also taking azethromycin,Adapalene(applying locally on acne) and clindamycin.Will melalite really do any good to me? Can it even worsen my acne?Your help would be really appreciated by me. Thanks.
I can understand your concern for the acne and its various treatments.
I can make out that most of the treatment given to you is quite good. Azithromycin being an antibiotic so is always helpful in reducing the bacterial proliferation.
IN case of Adapalene- it is vitamin A derivative and is also quite good therapy to apply topically. It is to be applied at night time.
For Melalite cream - It is one of the cream which is to be used under strict dermatological supervision only. In my patients I use this kind of product for only few weeks and then shift to other of cream which can be used for long term without any side effect.
I suggest you to take full guidance form your treating dermatologist and do not apply the cream beyond few weeks.
All the best.
