Brief Answer:
Avoid Melacare forte cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Welcome to HCM....

Kindly avoid melacare forte cream as it contains hydroqinone and steroid. Both are causing side effects after long term use. Due to hydroquinone, you might get redness,ochronosis,confetti like depigmentation...etc and due to steroid,you may get depigmentation,atrophy,telangiectasia....etc.

You may apply kojic acid containing gel on face at night and apply sun screen gel in the morning. Cleanse the face with face wash containing glycolic acid. Take vitamin C tablets and glutathione tablets for the long time.

Take nutritious food and proper sleep. Avoid worries and tension. I hope this would help you getting glow on face. Take treatment after consulting the dermatologist.

Thanks.
