Hi ,

Black spots on cheeks are mostly melasma.

Melalite fort contains steroid mometasone.It is very potent steroid.Its long term use is not recommended.Skin may suffer irreversible damage due to it.

Best treatment for it is chemical peeling.Glycolic peels are very good for this.They give long lasting results.

Also sun protection is must for its prevention.

Use good sunscreen like photoban continously.It will prevent recurrence of melasma.

Hope this helps.
I will be available for follow up.
