What Is The Treatment For Painful Black Rash Caused Due To Melalite XL?

Hi am 28 years old female. My doctor suggested me to apply proclin gel for 10 days . I did and my pimples went down. For the next ten days he suggested me melalite XL , i now face severe burning sensation and some bad black rashes which pains. I used it for three days. But stopped using it today. What should i do now to get rid of these dirty black rashes. since they pain a lot..

Thanks,
Sowmya.

Hi,

Black rashes could be due to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Melalite XL is not recommended for a longer period of time (say more than 4 weeks). But you does not tolerate for 3 days.

So, you are most probably getting hypersensitivity reaction to Hydroquinone (One of the components of Melalite XL cream). So, I would recommend you to visit your Dermatologist and discuss the treatment options.

Hope I have answered your query.
