Hi. Thanks for asking in Healthcare Magic. Melacare contains Hydroquinone, Tretinoin and Mometasone. Hydroquinone is a weak hypopigmenting drug. The response is often incomplete and pigmentation recurs once the drug is stopped. You should avoid sunlight also otherwise, there will be an increase in the level of pigmentation. Tretinoin is added as it reduces wrinkles, dry scaly surfaces and sagging of skin. Mometasone is a topical steroid and prevents inflammation. Although the absorption of steroid through topical route is minimal, it should not be used for a prolonged period. All the three drugs can cause itching, burning and allergic reactions. It should not used continuously for a long time. Go for preparations with aloe vera and apply olive oil and almond oil on the spots. This will reduce the pigmentation and will give a permanent remedy. I hope this is useful.
