Question: Hii doctor my name is XXXXXXX i am using melacare from long tym its works good but i want to stop it when i stop again it comes to naturl color so what any other cream you suggest that it will get that tone only.

Brief Answer:
You should not have expected permanent results from this medicine.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Melacare is a bleaching agent containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone (topical steroid). Both hydroquinone and mometasone have serious side effects and it has not been a good idea to continue it for long. You should consult a dermatologist and then stop the cream. Change of skin tone may occur but then you can go in for laser treatment, Chemical peeling or microdermabrasion.

Let me know if I could help further.
