Brief Answer:
Most likely reaction due to sun exposure while on melanocyl
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for your query.
I'm Dr. Shuba Hariprasad and will be answering your query today.
You most probably are having a side effect of the medicine.
Please cover your eyes completely and use sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 while outdoors.
Remember to reapply if sweating profusely or every 2hrs while in the sun.
Cover yourself as much as possible and stay indoors while on treatment with melanocyl.
If the red mark increases in size or burns or occurs elsewhere is your body or changes in appearance /texture, please see your treating doctor regarding continuation of medications.
Also this should reduce in a week. If persists, see your doctor.
Hope this helps.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health.
Regards
Dr. Shuba Hariprasad
