  5. Ive been using this cream for the last 2 months and Ive noticed a lot of changes in my skin. It has completely removed the tan and cleared up the blocked pores on my face. Im really happy with the results when I look in the mirror. But Im a bit concerned about whether there are any side effects if I continue using this cream regularly. Can you advise me on this?

- using any cream continuously for a long period can sometimes cause irritation or sensitivity. I recommend taking breaks or consulting a dermatologist to ensure it's safe for your skin in the long run.

I have vitiligo and I'm using Melgain Lotion at night and Pacroma Cream in the morning, but I havent seen any improvement or change in pigmentation. Is this the right treatment or should I consider something else?

Vitiligo can be challenging to treat, and it's great that you're seeking a second opinion.Melgain Lotion and Pacroma Cream1. Melgain Lotion: Contains a combination of melatonin, vitamins, and antioxidants, which may help promote repigmentation.2. Pacroma Cream: Contains pimecrolimus, a topical immunomodulator that may help reduce inflammation and promote repigmentation.Evaluating the TreatmentWhile Melgain Lotion and Pacroma Cream may be beneficial for vitiligo, it's essential to consider the following:1. Treatment duration: Have you been using these creams for a sufficient amount of time (at least 3-6 months)?2. Consistency and application: Are you applying the creams consistently, as directed, and covering the entire affected area?3. Combination therapy: Have you considered combining these creams with other treatments, such as phototherapy, corticosteroids, or vitamin supplements?4. Underlying causes: Are there any underlying causes or triggers for your vitiligo, such as autoimmune disorders, stress, or hormonal imbalances?Alternative Treatment OptionsIf you're not seeing any improvement with Melgain Lotion and Pacroma Cream, consider discussing the following options with your doctor:1. Phototherapy: Exposure to specific wavelengths of light, such as narrowband UVB or PUVA, can help stimulate repigmentation.2. Corticosteroids: Topical or oral corticosteroids can help reduce inflammation and promote repigmentation.3. Vitamin supplements: Certain vitamins, such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, or antioxidants, may help promote repigmentation.4. Immunomodulatory therapies: Medications that modify the immune system's response, such as tacrolimus or pimecrolimus, may help promote repigmentation.
