Hello,
Thank you for writing to HCM.
Melacare cream contains topical steroid which is not recommended for long time usage.
As steroid has lot of side effects such as thinning of skin, excessive facial hair growth etc.
I would advice you to use sunscreen lotion with SPF more than 30 daily half an hour before going out in Sun.
Take tablet Vit C daily once or continue your vitamin tablets.
Apply kojic acid 2% containing gel daily night before bed for better complexion.
Regards.
