Hi,

I would not recommend you to use melacare cream unsupervised as it can lead to side effects. I would recommend you to use a milder cream containing kojic acid like grazia up cream on the affected area twice daily for 4-6 weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
