Trisone Cream 15g

Used For:

• Melasma: A skin condition that causes brown or gray-brown patches, commonly on the face.
• Sun Spots and Age Spots: Dark patches caused by sun exposure or aging.
• Hyperpigmentation: Skin discoloration from various causes (acne scars, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Skin irritation: Redness, dryness, burning, or stinging at the application site.
• Peeling or flaking: Especially with tretinoin, which promotes skin cell turnover.
• Sun sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to sunlight, so sunscreen is essential when using this combination.
• Skin thinning: Prolonged use of corticosteroids like fluocinolone can lead to skin thinning.
• Hypopigmentation: Overuse of hydroquinone can result in light spots on the skin.

Serious side effects are rare but may include:

• Allergic reactions: Swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing.
• Excessive irritation: Prolonged use can lead to severe irritation or skin damage.

Precautions:

• Use Sunscreen: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when using this medication, as it makes the skin more sensitive to the sun.
• Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit sun exposure as much as possible, as this can aggravate the condition being treated.
• Use for a Limited Time: Long-term use of corticosteroids like fluocinolone can thin the skin or cause other complications. Follow your doctor's recommendations for duration.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before use if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Avoid Eyes, Mouth, and Mucous Membranes: This medication should not be applied to sensitive areas such as the eyes or mucous membranes (mouth, nose, etc.).
• Patch Test: Before using this treatment on a large area, do a patch test to check for potential allergic reactions or irritation.
