How it works
Mometasone is a steroid. It blocks the production of some chemical messengers that cause inflammation, redness, swlling & other allergies in the body thereby improving the condition.
Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A. It works by slowing the growth of certain types of diseased blood cells, and promotes the growth of normal, mature cells in the bone marrow and blood. This helps to reverse symptoms of acute promyelocytic leukemia such as tiredness, bleeding and infections,.
Hydroquinone Topical is a skin lightening drug that lightens the skin by lowering the amount of melanin which causes darkening of skin.
