Hello,
I Have dark pigmentation marks on my face and none of the treatments worked.
I am now using Melacare during the night on my marks. But after sometime during the day i see that the marks turn red.

Hi dear ,

Melacare cream contain some heavy ingredients like hydroquinone , tritenoin and steroid , which have serious long term side effects , Such creams should not be used without prescription specially for long period of time . Long term user of such cream usually suffer from steroid abuse and get problem like reddening of skin.

I would suggest you to :-

Apply kojic acid cream twice a day after washing your face with mild soap .

Apply vitamin C serum at night .

Exfoliate your skin once a week .

If condition doesn't improve in a month the consult dermatologist for proper examination .

Doctor may prescribe anti allergic cream along with retinoids .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
