Hello,

Melacare cream commonly causes side effects like burning & skin dryness, stinging, redness, cracking, blistering, etc.

If the cream is showing side effects on your face then it is better to stop applying it. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.

Since it is a skin whitening agent it should not e used for a very long time.

You are suggested to leave your skin for a while, just wash with herbal or medicated face wash & let it breathe. Apply mild cream like calamine lotion or soframycin cream.

You are suggested to consult a dermatologist before applying any cream by yourself.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
