Melanorm-F Cream is a combination of three medicines: Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Fluocinolone acetonide which treat melasma (dark spots on skin). Hydroquinone is a skin lightening medicine that reduces the amount of a skin pigment (melanin) that causes darkening of skin. Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A that helps the skin to renew itself more quickly. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy.

Don't cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor. You may also use certain safe cosmetics (after consulting with your doctor) in order to lighten pigmentation.
