Melgain Lotion

Uses
Melgain Lotion (Decapeptide - Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor) is a topical vitiligo treatment which is made up of ten different amino acids. It works by causing re-pigmentation of the skin. Patients affected by vitiligo suffer from white skin patches due to dipegmentation. The face, hands, wrists and elsewhere on the body can be affected. These symptoms occur because the condition causes the skin to lose melanin, the naturally occurring pigment which gives skin its colour.

The combination of 10 amino acids in this topical lotion is used together with other forms of treatment to restore colour to areas of skin that have lost pigmentation. A team of medical researchers established that the melanocytes (cells responsible for producing melanin) in the patch of skin affected do not produce melanin due to abnormal growth characteristics.

Studies suggested that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) may be absent from the skin, which could cause vitiligo. It is therefore believed by experts that this lotion works by causing the migration of melanocytes from the area of skin surrounding the vitiligo patch, which in turn causes the production of melanin and restores the skin colour. Many people use it as an alternative to corticosteroid treatment.

Dosage and Administration
Melgain Lotion (Decapeptide - Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor) comes in a 5ml bottle which features a special applicator. Your doctor will provide full application instructions and a treatment schedule, including the recommended amount to use and the frequency of administration. Patients are normally directed by their doctor to use a thin layer of the lotion on the patches of white skin affected by vitiligo, once per day. Generally, it is used 1 to 2 hours before sleep. Take care to avoid contact with the treated skin for at least 1 hour after you use it.
