Hello,
Melacare forte cream contains hydroquinone,tretinoin and mometasone.It is used to treat hyperpigmentation i.e dark skin due to any cause like acne,melasma etc.Do not use this cream without consulting a dermatologist as this cream also contains an steroid which can be harmful if used wrongly.It should be used over an affected area only.
So my suggestion is have a visit to dermatologist and get an appropriate treatment accordingly.
Hope this helps.Take care.
Thank you.
