<s>[INST] hi, i am male 28yrs, i am suffering from like melasma and pigmentation (blackness like butterfly around side of nose ) doctor gave me melacare cream to apply, after a few days it was cured but the problem is when i stopped it comes again, so i was applying once in a 2 days from 5 years i want permanent cure for this what should i do...please help me [/INST] HI THANKS FOR CHOOSING HCM melacare cream contains hydroquinone,that help in improving the complexion,by peeling the outer layer of skin and bleaching exposing sensitive layer underneath it this cream may make your skin dry do use a moisturiser use a sunscreen lotion when you go into sun use this cream only at night not encouraged when you have pimples apply mild soap it is better to avoid such creams ,the benefits are temporary try to go for natural remedy like neem or tulsi paste try to rule out other reasons of melasma in men like hormone imbalances, family history application of mustard oil on face exposure to sun certain medications etc Do not use products such as soap, after shave or lotions that irritate your skin, because they may cause the melasma to worsen. After the melasma clears up, continue wearing sunscreen to help prevent it from reoccurring. HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER QUERIES THANK YOU </s>
