Frequently asked questions
Is Hyde Solution safe to use on face?
Hyde Solution should be applied exactly as directed by your doctor. Avoid applying it near the eyes, nose, corners of the mouth, or open wounds, as these areas are more susceptible to irritation. If you experience local irritation or worsening symptoms, discontinue use and consult your doctor. Excessive use may cause redness, peeling, or discomfort.
Does Hyde Solution permanently lighten skin?
No, it does not permanently lighten the skin. However, if melasma appears after discontinuing Hyde Solution, consult your doctor regarding potential long-term treatment options.
What should I avoid when using Hyde Solution cream?
Avoid direct exposure to sunlight and always apply sunscreen during and after treatment with Hyde Solution cream. Even minimal sun exposure can worsen melasma. Consult your doctor about alternative birth control methods as hormone-containing oral contraceptives may increase the severity of melasma. Pay attention to weather conditions, as hot or cold temperatures may irritate the treated skin.
How should Hyde Solution be applied?
Apply Hyde Solution once daily before bedtime. Thoroughly wash the affected area with water and apply a thin layer of Hyde Solution to the skin areas. Ensure half an inch of normal skin is included around the treated area. Gently rub the cream evenly into your skin, avoiding application near the corners of the mouth, nose, eyes, or open wounds.
Can I apply moisturizer over Hyde Solution?
You may use moisturizers and cosmetics during the day when not using Hyde Solution. However, it is recommended to avoid applying any other product immediately after application of Hyde Solution at bedtime.
Is Hyde Solution bad for the skin?
While generally safe, there is a possibility that Hyde Solution may cause darkening of the skin (blue-black) in rare cases. If this occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult your doctor. You may experience mild to moderate irritation such as redness, peeling, slight burning sensation, dryness, or itching at the site of application, though these are usually tolerable.
