View allI'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?
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.

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Having vitiligo for the past 16 years on my legs, palms, feet, penile area, chest, etc., and I regularly use Vitiskin, Topcort, and Topgraf. Do you think these treatments are effective in managing it? Should I be doing anything differently or trying out other treatments? It's been such a long time, and I'm a bit concerned about the spread and whether I'm on the right track with these products. Any advice would be appreciated.
