When Should Cosmelite And Execare Be Applied On The Face?

Hello Doctor My mother has been prescribed Cosmelite and Execare Skin cream for treating the black patches on her face and discoloration. But we are not sure about the usage. Can you please advise which cream has to be applied in day time or night? Or whether she should not move in the direct sunlight after applying any cream?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your complain I would like to inform you that Cosmelite and Execare cream are steroid based cream.
Steroid creams initially shows wonderful effects on face by reducing pigmentation and brightening the face..
However long term use has severe side effects like skin thinning, pimples, inflammation, rashes, itching, excess hair growth and dilated veins under the skin..
Also on long term use the skin becomes addicted or dependant on steroids and once the use is suddenly stopped, there are withdrawal side effects and it is the same thing that you are facing now that is increased pigmentation, rashes, swelling, redness etc..
I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist who can evaluate you clinically so that they can advise her non steroid based creams.
You can be advised de-pigmentation creams and facewash like salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing facewash, kojic acid, arbutin and glycolic acid creams etc..
You can apply cooled aloevera gel on face to soothe the skin..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora..
