HI ........
Thanks for posting your query
You have been using
melacare forte cream for 3 years ,
It consists of moderate steriod momatosone,
hydroquinone and
tretinoin .
These should be administered with doctor's prescription only
Use of steriods on like momatosone on face can cuse thinning of facial skin, visible blood vessels(telengiectasia),
Hypopigmentation, and even skin atrophy. so they should be used only for brief periods .There occurs steroid dependence and becomes difficult to discontinue it. so this is the culprit in your case
you need to stop using it but in sequential manner. apply it for lesser duration , on alternate days, then once or twice a week, then shift to milder like
hydrocortisone then slowly wea
n it off, This may take about six months . do this under expert supervision.
you can use a sunscreen with25+ spf
once you are out of it you can use other options for skin lightening but you should aim at glowing toned skin of your natural skin colour rather than fair skin
dark lips can be due to certain medical causes co conact a doctor for it
Hope this helps you
