Dermatologist 's  Response
Dont use melacare forte or any creams containing hydroquinone/mometasone for under eye pigmentation. It causes a side effect know as exogeneous ochronosis. If you stop using now it may resolve on its own. There are safer treatments for under eye pigmentation. Please consult a dermatologist.
Good Luck.
