Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How To Withdraw Melacare Cream Without Any Side Effects?
I have stated using Melacare cream since one month but I got found in course of internet browsing of Doctor s view that if any one suddenly stops to use the cream the skin becomes worse and horrible. Please suggest how i can stop to use the cream without any side effects. Please also suggest the Name of Sun s cream lotion and Moisturizer which has not any side effects.
As the cream contains steroid and you have used it for a prolonged period of time,I would suggest that you taper its use ie use it on alternate nights in first week and then two days in a week and then stop. That's the reason why we never advise such strong creams to be used without doctor's supervision. To treat acne, you may need a complete course of acne treatment like topical creams- adapalene ,benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin, either singly or in combination. Depending on the severity and type of acne, you may need azithromycin with or without isotretinoin. I would advise that you consult a doctor to get the skin examined so that a proper treatment can be started to restore your skin to normal. In the meanwhile, Use a mild face wash for acne prone skin like cetaphil os or acne aid etc Apply adapalene benzoyl peroxide combination gel in night Use a mild water based sunscreen in morning.
