Hi,

Melalite contains hydroquinone, which is a notorious molecule causing serious side effects. So, I do not recommend you to apply Melalite. You may apply Kojic acid containing gel and to take tab vitamin C 1000 mg and cap Glutathione 500 mg daily for long time after consulting the expert dermatologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
