Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have darkening of skin after using melacare forte cream which has very heavy ingredients including steroids . It should not be use for more the two months that too under the expert advice. It basically start damaging the skin after sometimes . This can also be called as steroid abuse condition. Need not to worry. Start using kojic acid cream which is very safe for long term use and natural extract of mushrooms which is very effective in treating condition. This cream should be applied twice a day . Vitamin C serum is also very effective for skin and it can be use at night . It nourishes the skin and prevent infection. Apply broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 which going outside. If condition persist or doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment. Doctor may recommend procedure like laser therapy, chemical peeling or microdermabrasion.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
