FAQs:

Is Epilite Topical Solution safe to use on the face?

Epilite Topical Solution should be used exactly as directed by your doctor. You should apply it away from the eyes, nose, corners of the mouth, or open wounds because these areas are more prone to irritation. If local irritation persists or becomes severe, discontinue Epilite Topical Solution and consult your doctor. Excessive use of the medication may cause redness, peeling, or discomfort.

Does Epilite Topical Solution permanently lighten skin?

No, it does not lighten the skin permanently. If melasma occurs on discontinuing Epilite Topical Solution, talk to your doctor regarding the maintenance treatment of melasma.

What should I avoid when using Epilite Topical Solution?

You should avoid exposure to sunlight, use sunscreen, and wear protective clothing after treatment with Epilite Topical Solution cream. Even a small amount of sunlight can worsen melasma. Females should avoid the use of birth control methods that contain hormones, such as oral birth control pills, as these methods can worsen their melasma. Communicate to your doctor about other birth control options. Be careful, as hot and cold weather may irritate the skin treated with Epilite Topical Solution.

How should Epilite Topical Solution be applied?

Epilite Topical Solution should be applied once a day, before bedtime. The area to be treated should be thoroughly washed with water. Apply a thin layer of Epilite Topical Solution to the affected skin areas. Include about half an inch of normal skin surrounding the affected area. Gently rub Epilite Topical Solution evenly into your skin. Do not apply it near the corners of your mouth, nose, eyes, or open wounds.

Can I apply moisturizer over Epilite Topical Solution?

Epilite Topical Solution is applied generally at bedtime. You may use moisturizers and cosmetics during the day when you are not using Epilite Topical Solution.

Is Epilite Topical Solution bad for the skin?

Epilite Topical Solution may cause blue-black darkening of the skin. If this occurs, you should immediately stop Epilite Topical Solution and consult your doctor. In some cases, it may also cause mild to moderate irritation, such as skin reddening, peeling, mild burning sensation, dryness, and itching at the site of application. But this is usually tolerable and may disappear with time.
