Cosmelan 2 is not orange. Something is wrong with your product! Cosmelan 1 is orange-ish and that's why we have people apply it in the office, keep it on for 8 hours, and then remove it at home - not for public consumption so to speak. Cosmelan 2 though is like a cream. It has no color to it. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.

I would wait before continuing more of the therapy to see if the differential in color resolves. In the meantime, apply Elevase Moisture Booster to help heal the skin. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
Treating PIH and melasma with cosmelan may make your skin hypersensitive. I would suggest Melarase creams and Elevase Moisture Booster as part of the post-treatment regimen to reduce redness and pigmentation risk. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon
Cosmelan formulations have changed over the years. In our office, we use a combination of Melarase AM and Melarase PM followed by Melapeels to address melasma and hyper pigmentation. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
