Hi! pigmentation can be due to multiple causes, like nutritional deficiencies like b12 deficiency, ferritin deficiency, hormonal imbalances like thyroid, pcod, sensitive skin, genetic factors, obesity etc .we should examine and find out the cause and prescribe accordingly. Most of the times, spots will respond to azaelic acid/kojic/ glycolic acid creams. But be sure to start the cream at night along with sunscreen application in the morning. Your skin seems to sensitive ,better you use mild cleanser to prevent from dryness and redness. Many procedures like chemical peeling, microdermabrasion, lasers etc can treat you better and give good results. Please do post pics or consult online for getting good guidance and treatment. Coming to the actual question, melacare cream triple combination cream containing hydroquinone, steroid and tretinoin which gives fairness and glow for short duration of time but if used for longer period of time, face becomes rebound dark due to withdrawal due to steroid .please do visit online for better advise and treatment.
