Hye! First of all,you take treatment for acne vulgaris.. Tab. Azithromycine 500 mg daily for three days in a week.. For 6 months. Apply clindamycine gel at night till good recovery. Wash the face with acmed gel twice a day. After recovery of acne , and if spots are there , use kozic acid containing cream daily at night till good response. But never use melalite cream ,as it is containing hydroquinone , which is irritating chemical. Wash the face with glycolic acid containing face wash.... Ok with best wishes.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
I would advise you to stop applying melalite forte as it has irritated your skin and has led to redness. Apply a mild steroid like hydrocortisone for few days along with a moisturiser. Once the redness and irritation subsides stop hydrocortisone as it can aggravate acne in long run.
To treat acne
Use cetaphil oily skin cleanser
Apply adapalene gel in night and clindamycin Gel twice in a day over acne lesions
Apply Kojic acid based cream over acne spots to clear the pigmented marks
If having scars consult a dermatologist to take peeling sessions or dermaroller or microdermabrasion sessions.
Hope that helps. Take care
