I am 20 years female, I was using melacare for almost a year but after I stopped it my skin became very dark and got many dark spots and pigmentation on my face, but now marks have faded and my skin is normal but not as fair as before, so which cream can I use for lightening my skin without any side effects?

Hello lybrate-user, please stop using melacare cream completely. It is a triple combination cream and is not to be used for long as it contains a steroid. After stopping it’s usage your skin can start showing signs of steroid overuse such as increased pigmentation, thinning, hair growth etc. Use a mild facial cleanser and a good moisturiser and a sunscreen for now. Consult a dermatologist for further treatment.
