Hello Doctor,                   Im a 24 year old girl from India. I have been using Melacare forte cream on my face at night everyday and brite during the day  for the last 3 years as prescribed by my physician . My facial skin has got an excellent glow, it looks fair and beautiful and soft. But since melacare contains steroid stuff I dont want to continue with it anymore. So I want to know whether I straight away stop using applying and start putting normal cosmetic cream on my face or do I have to apply some other medicated cream before I switch to the usual cosmetic cream ?PLEASE HELP!
Hi, I can understand your concern and after reading the query it appears that you may suffer from steroid abuse and dependence as you are using the cream from past 3 years. Melacare contain shy Chat Doctor.  The cream is good but shouldn't be used without a dermatologists prescription. On its prolonged use it can cause thinning skin with red irritated skin or even hair growth. I suggest you to use proper sun protection. You can use Atelier acid or Comic acid creams under dermatological guidance only. These can be used for a long period without any side effects. This may take few weeks of the time to resolve your problem so have patience. Take care
