What Are The Side Effects Of Melgain Medication?
I am suffering from vitiligo on the left side of my neck and head. I had been to a dermatologist today, who suggested that I apply Melgain on the affected area. Please let me know of the side effects of Melgain. Is it a steroid? My vitiligo has been stagnant for the last 20 years; will it aggravate the patches?
