Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
You did the right thing by discontinuing melacare forte. This cream is a prescription product and should never be used without a dermatologist's advice. Dermatologist's commonly prescribe it for facial hyperpigmentation/melasma.
However, it should never be used as a regular fairness cream and in any case not for more than 2-3 months since the steroid content of this cream can cause various side effects like acne, photosensitivity, skin thinning and telangiectasia and facial hair growth (hirsutism) which is specially troublesome in females.
I would suggest that you use a broad spectrum sunscreen, throughout the day.
At night you could use a glycolic acid cream (Glyco -A) Or Kojic acid cream (Kojic cream) to obtain the desired results of brighter complexion and even tone.
You could also opt for a few peeling sessions from a dermatologist e.g Yellow peel (Retinol CT peel) Or Glycolic peel Or lactic peel.
