Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello Sunil,
welcome to healthcare magic.
Melamet cream contains Mometasone, a mid- potent steroid , which on long term or unsupervised use can cause acneiform eruptions ( pimples). This cream should not be used over the counter and should be used only under the supervision of a dermatologist. Please stop this cream to avoid further breakouts.
For the acne which you have developed, you could use clindamycin gel in the morning and 2.5% Benzoyl peroxide gel at bedtime.
For the dark spots, you could use a gel containing 2% kojic acid at bedtime.
Use a gel based sunscreen every 4 hours in the day time.
You could also get glycolic acid peels done by a dermatologist.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
