hello, as melacare contains steroids and its pack ha written Don t use Melacare Cream for extended time or more often than prescribed as steroids have many side effect in body like cataract, bone problem, cushing s etc. melacare is not an fairness cream, it is to relieve from hyper pigmentation so Once you see your face clearing up, you would be tempted to use it as a fairness cream, but please don’t. Everything done in excess is bad, there are so many non-medicated creams available, for fairness apart from steroids consult deramtologist and stop melacare. you can also apply cucumber juice, papaya, or potato over face they act as natural bleaching agent i hope i answered your query take care
