I'm currently using Momate cream on my face to tackle some dark spots, but I'm not sure if it's safe or effective. Could you let me know if this is a good option, or if there's another cream out there that's better for treating dark spots?

Momate cream contains mometasone, a steroid that can help reduce inflammation and itching. However, it may not be the best choice for dark spots.
For Dark Spots, Consider Alternatives
- Kojic acid cream: Helps reduce melanin production and fade dark spots.
- Hydroquinone cream: Fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
- Retinoid cream: Promotes cell turnover, reducing appearance of dark spots.
- Vitamin C cream: Brightens skin, reduces hyperpigmentation.
- Niacinamide cream: Improves skin hyperpigmentation and brightness.

View allI'm dealing with vitiligo and my doctor suggested using Melback lotion, but I can't find it anywhere. I did come across Melgain at the drugstore though. Can I use Melgain as a substitute? What's the difference between Melback and Melgain, and how exactly does Melgain work? Would appreciate any advice on how to use it properly.

Can you help me get rid of these hives that have spread all over my body? Every time I scratch them, dark spots appear on my skin. What should I do, and is there a way to prevent these spots?
You can take an antihistamine medication such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing calamine lotion on the affected areas to help relieve itching and reduce inflammation. It is important to avoid scratching the hives to prevent further dark spots from forming. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
