DERMOLITE CREAM 20 GM

How DERMOLITE CREAM 20 GM Works

• DERMOLITE CREAM 20 GM is a combination medicine primarily used to lighten skin discoloration and reduce hyperpigmentation. Its effectiveness stems from the synergistic action of its three key ingredients: Hydroquinone, Mometasone, and Tretinoin. Each component addresses different aspects of skin pigmentation and promotes overall skin rejuvenation.
• Hydroquinone, a potent depigmenting agent, works by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme crucial in the production of melanin. Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin color, and its overproduction leads to dark spots, age spots, melasma, and other forms of hyperpigmentation. By blocking tyrosinase, Hydroquinone effectively reduces melanin synthesis, leading to a gradual lightening of darkened skin areas. Its action is localized, primarily affecting melanocytes in the treated area, minimizing the impact on surrounding normal skin.
• Mometasone, a corticosteroid, possesses anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Its role in DERMOLITE CREAM 20 GM is to reduce inflammation associated with skin conditions and to suppress the immune response that can contribute to hyperpigmentation. Inflammation can stimulate melanocytes, leading to increased melanin production. By controlling inflammation, Mometasone indirectly helps to reduce pigmentation. Furthermore, it helps to alleviate any irritation or redness caused by other active ingredients like Tretinoin, making the treatment more tolerable.
• Tretinoin, a retinoid (a derivative of vitamin A), accelerates skin cell turnover. It promotes the shedding of old, damaged skin cells and encourages the growth of new, healthy cells. This process helps to exfoliate the skin, removing existing melanin-containing cells and preventing the buildup of pigment. Additionally, Tretinoin stimulates collagen production, which improves skin texture, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and enhances the overall appearance of the skin. It also increases the penetration of the other active ingredients, Hydroquinone and Mometasone, improving their efficacy.
• The combined effect of these three ingredients results in a comprehensive approach to treating hyperpigmentation. Hydroquinone directly reduces melanin production, Mometasone controls inflammation and suppresses the immune response, and Tretinoin promotes skin cell turnover and enhances the penetration of the other ingredients. Regular application of DERMOLITE CREAM 20 GM, as directed by a healthcare professional, can lead to a significant improvement in skin tone and a reduction in hyperpigmentation, resulting in a brighter, more even complexion. It is important to use sunscreen while using this medication to protect the newly generated skin from sun damage.

Like all medicines, Dermolite Cream can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. **Common side effects (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):** * Burning sensation at the application site * Itching * Irritation * Dryness **Uncommon side effects (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):** * Acne * Skin inflammation (dermatitis) * Skin atrophy (thinning of the skin) * Stretch marks (striae) * Spider veins (telangiectasia) **Rare side effects (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people):** * Changes in skin color (hypopigmentation) * Increased hair growth (hypertrichosis) * Allergic contact dermatitis **Very rare side effects (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people):** * Suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, leading to hormonal imbalances. * Cushing's syndrome (symptoms include weight gain, moon face, and easy bruising). * Glaucoma or cataracts (with prolonged use near the eyes). **If you experience any of these side effects, especially if they are severe or persistent, stop using Dermolite Cream and consult your doctor or pharmacist.**

• If you forget to apply Dermolite Cream, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next application, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for the missed one.

• Keep DERMOLITE CREAM 20GM away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store DERMOLITE CREAM 20GM at room temperature.

• Always apply DERMOLITE CREAM 20 GM thinly and evenly to the affected area. Avoid thick applications as they won't improve results and may increase side effects. A pea-sized amount is usually sufficient for a small area. Over application can lead to skin irritation or other adverse reactions.
• Before using DERMOLITE CREAM 20 GM, gently cleanse and dry the affected area. This ensures that the cream is applied to clean skin, maximizing its absorption and effectiveness. Avoid using harsh soaps or scrubbing, as this can irritate the skin and potentially worsen the condition.
• DERMOLITE CREAM 20 GM is designed for external use only. Be careful to avoid contact with your eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Consult a doctor if irritation persists.
• Consistency is key when using DERMOLITE CREAM 20 GM. Apply it regularly as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily. Missing applications can slow down the healing process and reduce the overall effectiveness of the treatment. Set a reminder if needed.
• Monitor your skin for any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, burning, or peeling. If these symptoms occur, discontinue use and consult your doctor. Mild irritation may subside with continued use, but severe reactions require medical attention. Prolonged use without monitoring can lead to skin thinning or other complications.

• There is no known interaction between DERMOLITE CREAM 20 GM and food. DERMOLITE CREAM 20 GM is for external use only and is unlikely to be affected by food intake. However, always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any concerns.
