Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I use Melacare cream for the past four years. Now I want to stop using it. But when I try to stop, it produces irritation and turns my skin into very black. Can I use Keto soap to recover my skin?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your condition is known as topical steroid dependent face (TSDF). Melacare has steroids and it is not advised to use it for more than six weeks and you are using it for the past four years. Use the medicines I am prescribing.
No, Keto soap does not have any benefit in this condition.
