Question 5

I'm thinking about trying Melacare cream to lighten the skin on my face, but I'm a bit worried. Can using Melacare lead to skin cancer?

Accepted Answer

Melacare cream is a combination medication containing Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Mometasone. It is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. However, prolonged and indiscriminate use of hydroquinone can lead to side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin. Tretinoin can also cause skin irritation and sensitivity to sunlight. Mometasone, if used for a long time, can lead to skin thinning and increased risk of infections. Regarding the risk of skin cancer, there is no direct evidence linking the use of Melacare cream to skin cancer. However, it is important to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare professional and to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment to minimize the risk of side effects.
