Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain I would like to inform you that Melacare cream is a steroid based cream containing Hydroquinone, Tretinoin and Mometasone Furoate..
Steroid creams initially shows wonderful effects on face by reducing pigmentation and brightening the face..
But long term use has severe side effects like skin thinning, pimples, inflammation, rashes, itching, excess hairgrowth and dilated veins under the skin..
Also on long term use the skin becomes addicted or dependant on steroids and once the use is suddenly stopped, there are withdrawal side effects and it is the same thing that you are facing now that is increased pigmentation, rashes, swelling, redness etc..
I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist who can evaluate you clinically and also advise you safe depigmentation creams and facewash like salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing facewash, kojic acid, arbutin and glycolic acid creams etc..
You can apply cooled aloevera gel on face to soothe the skin..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
