Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems that the hyperpigmentation is due to side effects of the cream/ ointment you applied for pimples..
First of all completely stop application of the cream that has caused side effect.
Other thing that I would like to tell you is that you should keep patience as hyperpigmentation can take from weeks to months to resolve..
You can wash your face with Salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing facewash..
You can continue applying Melanil as it has agents that can cause depigmentation..
You can also add Kojic Acid containing creams..
Apply Vitamin E oil at night..
Take Vitamin C supplements..
Exfoliate your skin twice weekly.
Use sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
