Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM

Melacare forte contains Mometasone, tretinoin and Hydroquinone. It is usually prescribed by dermatologists for Melasma and Pigmentation over face.

Usage is limited to 2-3 months because prolonged use can lead to steroid related side effects like acne, photosensitivity, skin thinning and telangiectasis, facial hair growth specially in females.

It should never be used for the sensitive skin around the eyes because of precisely the same reasons that i mentioned above because side effects can appear early on the delicate skin around the eyes.

I would advice that you visit a dermatologist who might ask you to use a cream containing either kojic acid, glycolic acid, arbutin, tetrahydrocurcumin, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate OR liquorice extract. They are milder but safer and can be used even long term on the face and on the skin around the eye.
