Hello Lybrate user. Melalite forte cream contains hydroquinone which can cause irritation, redness or dermatitis. I would recommend you to first find out the cause of pigmentation on your son's neck instead of using this over the counter medication as treating the cause will help in reduction of the same.

Hello. Sarcoidosis is a chronic disease and prolonged treatment is necessitated with the topical ointments. The hydroquinone definitely helps in reducing the darkness of eyelids. Melalite do have this as an active ingredients along with few others. However a confirmed acceptance of the cream can be given to you by the dermatologist who have examined you previously. Please confirm the same with him before you start using it.

When used unsupervised, for longer periods, it may lead to exogenous oochronosis (resistant pigmentation due to hydroquinone) which is quite difficult to treat, and also it can cause side effects due to steroid component like acne, skin thinning/atrophy, erythema, steroid dependence, etc. Tretinoin component can lead to dryness of skin. I would advise you to stop using it, and inculcate these 3 things in your daily r...more
