I am 30 years old male, a case of sarcoidosis and treated with prednisolone steroid. I noticed darkness (melasma) besides both eye. Dermatologists advice me to use hydroquinone. But the chemist has given me melalite 15 cream. Is it good?

Hello, Melalite 15 is hydroquinone with added sunscreen agents. You Can use make sure you consult dermatologist regularly as hydroquinone should not be used continuously for long durations.

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.
