I am use melaglow cream .but I noticed that my face has been redness. So please suggest me. What should I do?

Question

Hello. Melaglow is prescribed depending upon the indication like melasma, pih etc. On long term use such cream irritates the skin and causes redness.in that case stop the cream at the earliest and use intense moisturizer 2 to 3 times daily. Avoid photo exposure. Tab levocetrizine if there is itching. Further advise can be given only after proper examination. Visit dermatolgist. Thanks.

You can apply aloe vera juice/gel from its leaf (fresh, not from readymade gels available in market) on your face. Remove skin of an aloe vera leaf. Take /scoop out gel. Apply this gel to your face skin. Wash with plain water after an hour. Stop using soap on face. Instead take a spoon of milk, add a pinch of turmeric (haldi). Mix n apply on face with the help of cotton. Leave for a few minutes then wash off. Once a week apply a mixture of besan, milk. Take a spoon besan add milk to make a paste add a pinch of turmeric (haldi). Mix n apply on fac. Leave for a few minutes. Then rub off from n wash face with pain water. Apply moisturizer like coconut oil. Simple honey mask--before applying this mask, rinse your face with warm water to open up pores. Then apply honey and leave it on the skin for 30 minutes. Rinse the honey off with warm water; then rinse again with cold water to close the pores. Use some sunblock with spf (at least 50) every time you go out in sun. Apply it 30 mins before going out use umbrella when going in sun. Wear full sleeves clothsdrink plenty of fluids. Don?t be stressed. For more details consult online.

It is a good cream. But 2 things are responsible for redness. 1 st any cream can cause slight and temporary redness, irritation, itching, burning and pain. You can use emollient (fisioativ / aquasoft fc cream) 30-60 min before this cream or stop for some days and reapply. 2nd thing is proper sunprotection. Sun protection has 3 components (avoid to go sun light as much as possible especially 11 am to 03 pm, use umbrella, broad brim hat/ cap, cloth, dupatta and finally very good sunscreen.
