Hi.
As per your case history of using melacare cream for dark circles, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30.
2. Diprosalic ointment is potent steroid and melacare is powerful depigmenting cream, so both should not be used for dark circles.
3. Apply a mild depigmenting cream like kojivit twice daily on dark circles.
4. Other treatment options are oral vitamin b12, vitamin c and chemical peeling done by a dermatologist.

Thanks.
