hi there,
thanks for posting here.
please stop melacare. It contains a steroid and should not be used for more than a month.
Use a good sunscreen with SPF more than 15.
use glycolic acid cream at night.(start after a week of stopping melacare)
chemical peels is a good treatment for melasma.
consult a dermatologist.
take care.
hope it is useful to you.
