Hi .. I am average clear face skin... Due to sun exposer I felt my skin become dull My friend suggested me lomela . Without consulting doctor I used it for 2 months continuously .i felt I become more fair .. So I discontinued dat .. Now it's been 9 moths I haven't use dat .. But now I feel my skin has darken . Can upland tell me is it the side effect of using that
Hi thanks for writing here.Lomela is a triple combination cream containing mometasone,hydroquinone and tretinoin. All these are depigmentary agents ,it has good results in melasma and skin darkening,but it has to be used under the guidance of a dermatologist.Used for long periods it can produce side effects like skin atrophy,acne,dryness,skin irritation,and excssive darkening of skin known as ochronosis. Since you have used cream for long peroids it is possible that you have either devoloped photosensitivity or ochronosis although it is rare. Stop drug completely,start applying mild cream like kojivit at night time,apply sunscreen at day time ,it is better you consult a dermatologist and take treatment accrdingly.
