Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain Melabest is a steroid based cream and Melaglow is a
kojic acid containing
depigmentation cream..
As after stoppng the usage of These creams you have suddenly got irritation on face along with loss of brightness, it is due to withdrawal side effects of steroid based cream..
Steroid creams initially shows wonderful effects on face by reducing pigmentation and brightening the face..
But long term use has severe side effects like skin thinning, pimples, inflammation, rashes, itching, excess hairgrowth and dilated veins under the skin..
Also on long term use the skin becomes addicted or dependant on
steroids and once the use is suddenly stopped, there are withdrawal side effects and it is the same thing that you are facing now that is increased pigmentation, rashes, swelling, redness etc..
I would suggest you to
consult a Dermatologist who can evaluate you clinically and also advise you a low potency steroid cream that has to be used for a week regularly and then gradually tapering down the use and then will be stopped gradually..
It will help in preventing side effects of sudden withdrawal..
Once the side effects resolve completely you can start using her safe depigmentation creams like Kojivit as it is safer for long term use and can have slower effect but will not damage your skin atleast..
You can also apply
Glycolic acid cream and
vitamin E gel..
As of now do cool compresses on face and wash face with cool water to relieve irritation..
You can apply cooled
aloevera gel on face to soothe the skin..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
