Hi..

Melacare is a steroid based cream and it can cause severe side effect on face even on a short time use.

Steroud cream can initially lighten the skin tone but on long term use the skin can become dark, there can be rashes, thinning of skin, excessive hair growth on face, pimples etc..

So my suggestion is to consult a skin specialist and get evaluated.
You can be advised non steroid based skin lightening cream like Kojic acid aur azelic acid cream cream.


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

Regards.
Dr. Honey Arora, Dentist.
