What Causes Dark Skin After Discontinuation Of Melacare?
Hii.....i have used melacare for 1 year..earlier it resulted in skin glow..but when i stopped using my skin turned dark and looks un healthy...its almost 3 years since last use..but still my skin looks dull...it also resulted in increase in sensitivity to sun..pllz tell me how ti get rid of this.....
Melacare contains mometasone which is a steroid. Long-term use of topical steroid will cause skin atrophy and development of small blood vessels in your face. It is better to shift on other options. You can use 1. Retino – A cream 2. Melalite Forte cream and How to use?? Mix equal amount of these two creams on your palm, mix well, apply very gently on your face at bed time. Do not rub while applying and apply a very thin layer (small amount). Remember; mix only whilst ready to apply. Store both creams separately. Retino – A makes you skin sensitive to sunlight. So use Spectraban sensitive sunscreen cream before exposure to sunlight. You can use other over the counter sunscreen available in the market. After use of Retno – A & Melalite creams for long time, your skin might suffer temporary dryness. In that condition, you can apply Elovera cream in day time. Try to avoid soap for washing your face. Use only oil based face washes. Thanks
