Can I take melacare forte for getting a fair complexion?
Patient: hi doctor. i am thinking to use melacare forte cream so before i go for it i wanna know your suggestion and views of melacare forte cream. i heard from some of my friends that melacare forte cream just take out a layer of skin by which its look fairer n while we stop using it our faces becomes dark then ever before ..... thanks a lot ..... Doctor: hi ,  Melacare forte cream is a known lightening agent. It is one of the triple combinations that is widely used by dermatologists all over. It is a good and effective agent if used under medical supervision. Using such combinations as  OVER THE COUNTER DRUGS  is not really recommended. Yes, there is no doubt that it does improve the skin tone when used. It is used by dermatologists for  various hyperpigmented skin conditions. But i would recommend you not to use it without prior assessment and recommendation by a skin specialist. One of the known problems with such medications is that it can cause hyperpigmentation , if not used properly and as advised by a dermatologist. Such medications have to be used only for a limited period of time. Excessive use can cause problems. Also these are to used only at night time.  Hope i have answered your query Dr Geetika Paul
