Hello,

Hello, Elsome HT contains hydroquinone, steroid and tretinoin. It is a good cream and helps rejuvnate skin and also reduce pigmentation. Results take 1 to 2 months to show. Since it contains Mometasone which is a steroid make sure you do not continue for long time as can have harmful effects and to stop after two months and shift over to milder creams which are safer. Consult a dermatologist.

Hi lybrate-user,
melacare should not be used for more than a month. If you do end up using it for long. I request you to use biluma. Its a cream with very little to no side effects.
Melacare longterm use has side effects.
Please always consult. Take care.

You should not use creams like these as these creams contain hydroquinone which can cause a condition as exogenous ochronosis. There are a variety of options with good results .consult me for private online consultation for further.

Hii dear...This cream is a combination of hydroquinone, tretinoin, and steroid. It is a skin lightening medication used for hyperpigmentation, it has lot of side effects when used on normal skin. Long term use of steroids can cause infections, acneiform eruption, atrophy, etc. Long term use of hydroquinone can cause exogenous ochronosis. Kindly avoid such creams for skin lightening. It must only be used for hyperpigmentation when indicated.

Hi Divya
Trevinoin and hydroquinone are dangerous in pregnancy and should never be taken. You should tell your skin doctor when starting treatment, about planning pregnancy. That’s assuming it was prescribed by skin doctor and not over the counter. You need to decide the priority. If acne needs priority correction, use the medicine but also use contraception to avoid pregnancy. If pregnancy is priority, ignore the acne, for now. You can treat it later.
