Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic Melalite cream contains Hydroquinone, which is an irritant and can therefore cause redness and burning. You should stop it. Melacare is an absolute No because it contains a potent steroid, mometasone propionate which should never be used on face. I would suggest you use a moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate for a few days to let the redness and irritation subside. Thereafter, you may use a broad spectrum sunscreen, that which offers both UV A and UV B protection throughout the day. At night you could use a skin lightening cream containing one or more of the skin lightening ingredients e.g kojic acid, glycolic acid, Arbutin, Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, Liquorice etc once or twice daily, can be used to gradually improve the complexion. You could also undergo a few sessions of skin lightening peels (Yellow peels/Retinol CT peel) OR Glycolic acid Peels, from a dermatologist to improve the complexion. regards
