Is Cutihyde Cream safe to use on the face?
Cutihyde Cream should be used exactly as directed by your doctor. When applying the cream, avoid the areas around the eyes, nose, corners of the mouth, or open wounds, as these areas are more prone to irritation.

Does Cutihyde Cream permanently lighten the skin?

What should I avoid when using Cutihyde Cream?
To minimize potential side effects, avoid exposure to direct sunlight, use sunscreen, and wear protective clothing after treatment with Cutihyde Cream. Even brief exposure to sunlight can worsen melasma. Females should avoid using birth control methods that contain hormones, such as oral birth control pills, as these can exacerbate melasma. Consult your doctor about alternative birth control options. Be cautious, as extreme temperatures may irritate the skin treated with Cutihyde Cream.
How should Cutihyde Cream be applied?
Apply Cutihyde Cream once a day, before bedtime. Thoroughly wash the area to be treated with water. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected skin areas, including about half an inch of surrounding normal skin. Gently rub the cream into your skin. Avoid applying the cream near the corners of your mouth, nose, eyes, or open wounds.
Can I apply moisturizer over Cutihyde Cream?
Cutihyde Cream is typically applied at bedtime. You may use moisturizers and cosmetics during the day when you are not using the cream.
Is Cutihyde Cream bad for the skin?
Cutihyde Cream may cause blue-black darkening of the skin. If this occurs, stop using the cream and consult your doctor immediately. 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. However, this is usually tolerable and may resolve on its own over time.
