hi,
thank you for asking on HCM.
as per your history, you have post inflammatory hyperpigmentation due to seborrheic dermatitis.
-- since you are already using melaglow, continue using.
-- you may also apply carofit cream twice a day on dark spots.
-- use sunscreen of spf 30 applied 20 minutes before going out in sun, reapplied every 3-4 hrs.
-- apply benzac on acne lesion, if you have any.
-- there is no need to apply eumosone since you dont have lesions of seborrheic dermatitis.
-- there is no permanent cure to seborrheic dermatitis, only you can prevent it by regular washing of face, applying aloe vera gel, keeping your skin hydrated.
if lesions are pesistant, you may consult your dermatologist for chemical peels, lasers as advised by them.
wishing you fairer skin.
thank you
