Hello lybrate-user, it seems that your brother has developed irritant contacts dermatitis by the use of hydroquinone.

Hi! melacare is triple combination cream containing hydroquinone, steroid and treinoin. Please don't use melacare in these areas as as it can cause profound side effects on usage especially in sensitive areas of the body. Mean while, use a good moisturising cream to affected part of the body to prevent dryness. Please consult online or have direct consultation with your local dermatologist for best advice and treatment.
