Melgain Lotion 5 ml belongs to the 'depigmenting agents' class. It is primarily used in vitiligo treatment. Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition that causes pale white patches to appear on the skin. It is caused by a lack of melanin, the pigment in the skin. Vitiligo can affect any skin area, but it is most common on the face, neck, hands, and skin creases.

Melgain Lotion 5 ml contains 'Decapeptide' as an active ingredient. Topical application of Decapeptide solution induces migratory behaviour and proliferation of melanin-producing cells (melanocytes) in white depigmented patches of skin and roots of the hair. Thereby, it helps to treat vitiligo patches.

Vitiligo: Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder that causes pale white spots to appear on the skin. It is caused by a deficiency of melanin, which is the pigment in the skin. Vitiligo can affect any skin area, but it commonly happens on the face, neck and hands and in skin creases. Vitiligo typically begins as a pale patch of skin that gradually becomes completely white. A patch's centre may be white, with paler skin surrounding it. The severity of the condition varies from person to person. Some people develop a few small white patches, while others develop larger white patches that spread across large areas of their skin.
