How it works
MHG Lotion is a repigmenting agent. It works by causing migration of skin cells (melanocytes) from the area of skin surrounding the vitiligo patch. This in turn causes the production of melanin (skin darkening pigment) and restores the skin color.
Quick Tips
MHG Lotion helps restores skin complexion in people with vitiligo. It may take up to 4 months to complete treatment. Keep using the medication as prescribed. Apply it in a thin layer to the pigmented areas of skin and rub in gently. It can make your skin more sensitive to sun. Use sunscreen and protective clothing when outdoors. It may also cause changes in the color of your untreated skin. Talk to your doctor if this bothers you. Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve after 1 month of treatment.
Frequently asked questions
How do you use MHG Lotion?
Use MHG Lotion exactly as directed by your doctor. Read the instructions carefully before use. Thoroughly cleanse and dry the affected area, then apply the lotion as a very thin film. For optimal results, apply it approximately 2 hours before retiring at night. Do not touch the treated patches for about an hour. Upon waking, expose the patches to bright sunlight for 10-15 minutes. If direct sunlight is unavailable, you may utilize ultraviolet lamps.
How does MHG Lotion work?
MHG Lotion increases the growth of pigment-producing cells (melanocytes). It promotes melanocyte proliferation in the affected area and aids in their migration to restore skin pigmentation. This process leads to re-pigmentation.
How safe is MHG Lotion?
MHG Lotion is generally considered safe when used as prescribed. No reported side effects or contraindications exist. However, if you experience any adverse reactions after applying the lotion, consult your doctor promptly.
How long do I need to use MHG Lotion?
Treatment duration varies depending on response. Younger individuals or those with newly developed patches generally show faster results with improved pigmentation within 3-6 months. For most patients, full re-pigmentation may take a year.
Can childhood vitiligo go away?
A cure for vitiligo does not exist; however, some patches may disappear naturally. Typically, re-pigmentation occurs, although complete eradication is rarely achieved.
What is vitiligo?
Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin condition that manifests as white patches due to a loss of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin coloration. It's triggered when cells responsible for producing melanin are destroyed. These white patches can also occur on the eyes, mouth, and nose.
