Melacare sideeffect-Skin whitening
I had a burn in my stomach, used mederma cream to remove the mild scars i had but i had allergic reactions from mederma which caused severe itching and the burned part turned dark. I consulted a docter and he prescribed melacare cream to remove the dark scar. But after using melacare the part turned white, looks like I lost the melanin pigment there. What should I do now? Will i get my get my natural complexion back ?

This is common with steroid combination creams like melacare. Steroid can chase depigmentation and skin atrophy that is thinning. Please stop it. Please send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice
