Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic
Autoimmune disorder is not a contraindication for topical hydroquinone cream.
You may use esoterica cream at night over the patches. Mornings please apply a sunscreen with high spf even though you are not going outdoors.
I do not know about mercury, but oral contraceptive pills and some anti epileptics worsen melasma.
Hope this helped
Take care
