Hello there,
Melacare is a cream that claims to work by reducing the amount of melanin in skin. But melanin is actually protective as it shields the skin against the harmful effects of the sun. Now if you live in chennai and venture out in the sun either use a good sunscreen with an SPF of atleast 30 , otherwise as your skin is delicate due to the use of melacare it will get damaged and sunburnt easily.
You can use an aloe based lotion to reduce the redness and itching but use a sunscreen everytime you go out.
Hope this helps,
Please feel free to address any further queries to me,
