Hi,
Mealcare contains steroid in it which causes dependence and hence side effects such as skin thinning, hair growth and visible vessels on skin. All of these combinedly gives dark appearance on face. I suggest you to stop the cream immediately and meet a dermatologist to take off the side effects with Kojic acid or glycolic acid creams. Use a good sunscreen daily for 2-3 times with best sun protection.
