How Melalong Plus Products work
Hydroquinone + Tretinoin + Fluocinolone acetonide is a combination of three medicines: Hydroquinone + Tretinoin + Fluocinolone acetonide1, Hydroquinone + Tretinoin + Fluocinolone acetonide2 and Hydroquinone + Tretinoin + Fluocinolone acetonide3 which treat melasma (dark spots on skin). Hydroquinone + Tretinoin + Fluocinolone acetonide1 is a skin lightening medicine. It reduces the amount of a skin pigment (melanin) that causes darkening of skin. Hydroquinone + Tretinoin + Fluocinolone acetonide2 is a form of vitamin A that helps the skin to renew itself more quickly. Hydroquinone + Tretinoin + Fluocinolone acetonide3 is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.

Q. What is Melalong Plus Cream used for?
Melalong Plus Cream is prescribed for the short-term treatment of moderate to severe melasma, a dark, patchy discoloration on the face. It helps lighten those spots when used along with sun protection, avoiding sunlight.
Q. Can Melalong Plus Cream be used for other dark spots or skin lightening?
No. Melalong Plus Cream is only approved for facial melasma. It has not been proven safe or effective for other pigment problems like freckles, age spots, or acne marks.
Q. Is Melalong Plus Cream meant for long-term use?
No. Melalong Plus Cream is for short-term use only. Once your dark patches improve, your doctor may suggest stopping and switching to other maintenance options. Using it continuously may increase the risk of skin side effects.
Q. What precautions should I take while using Melalong Plus Cream?
While you are on Melalong Plus Cream therapy, you should avoid direct sunlight exposure, UV lamps, always apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher), wear protective clothing, do not use on broken or irritated skin, avoid using harsh soaps, astringents, products that cause dryness, peeling.

Exogenous ochronosis is a blue-black darkening of the skin that can happen with long-term use of hydroquinone (present in Melalong Plus Cream). It is rare but may be permanent. If your skin starts getting darker instead of lighter, stop using the medicine and contact your doctor.
Q. Can Melalong Plus Cream thin my skin or affect hormones?
Yes, with prolonged or excessive use, the corticosteroid (fluocinolone) present in Melalong Plus Cream can cause skin thinning or, in rare cases, hormonal (adrenal) effects. Use it exactly as directed, usually once daily, only for a short time.
Q. Are there any serious side effects of Melalong Plus Cream?
Serious side effects of Melalong Plus Cream may include severe burning, swelling, blistering of the skin, worsening pigmentation, signs of infection, skin thinning, and any allergic reaction (rash, difficulty breathing, facial swelling). Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms.
Q. Can people with darker skin tones use Melalong Plus Cream safely?
Melalong Plus Cream has not been well-studied in very dark skin types (Fitzpatrick V-VI). Over-bleaching, uneven lightening may occur. Your dermatologist can guide you on whether it is appropriate.

Melasma often comes back after stopping Melalong Plus Cream. To maintain results, continue sun protection, and follow your doctor’s advice on safer long-term maintenance options.
