Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Seems that the spots are actually post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Etaze HT and Melacare are essentially the same medicines. Both of them contain a triple combination of tretinoin, hydroquinone and mometasone whereas Kojivit plus contains kojic acid as the main active ingredient.
If i was your treating doctor i would have asked you to use either Etaze HT Or Melacare at night and kojivit plus during day time.
Normally it take 2 weeks to see a noticeable improvement when you start using lightening creams. Total resolution time depends on the degree of initial hyperpigmentation. It could take somewhere between 2-3 months.
take care
regards
