[|Human|] Hi Doc, I hv problem of blemishes on my face n my skin specialist hs suggested Melacare but I don t know for how long should I use it so it won t give me bad effects. I hv pigmentation on some parts of my face so can I use iy there to get flawless skin?
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. From your history, the blemishes on your face could be due to plasma, freckles or even post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Melacare contains a steroid as one of its components which over long term use can cause side effects like skin thinning, redness and whitish discoloration. It should be used only under the guidance of your dermatologist. You could also benefit from using a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30and above every 4 hours even indoors and in cloudy weather.  You could use a lightening cream containing 2 % comic acid, licorice, albumin and niacin amide which is safer and devoid of steroidal side effects. You could also get glycol peels done by a qualified dermatologist. Hope this helps you. Take care.
