Hi dear ,
As per your query you have been using melacare face cream ( used for hyperpigmentation ) for last 3 years . Well melacare contain ingredient like steroid , teritinoin and hydroquinone , which should not be used for long time because of their side effects like redness of skin and peeling of skin ( as you mention in query ) and people usually suffer from steroid abuse like condition . Also melacare should not be used without prescription . I would suggest you to immediately stop using this cream , start washing your face with cold water and mild soap and then apply cream containing kojic acid . Also apply vitamin E oil at night . If condition doesn't get improve in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may recommend chemical peeling depending upon severity of condition .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
