Q. Is Hydrip Cream safe to use on face?
Hydrip Cream 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 Hydrip Cream and consult your doctor. Excessive use of the medication may cause redness, peeling, or discomfort.
Q. Does Hydrip Cream permanently lighten skin?
No, it does not lighten the skin permanently. If melasma occurs on discontinuing Hydrip Cream, talk to your doctor regarding the maintenance treatment of melasma.
Q. What should I avoid when using Hydrip Cream cream?
You should avoid exposure to sunlight, use sunscreen, and wear protective clothing after treatment with Hydrip Cream cream. Even a small amount of sunlight can worsen melasma.

Talk to your doctor about other birth control options. Be careful as hot and cold weather may irritate the skin treated with Hydrip Cream.
