Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Melacare Forte cream contains Hydroquinone, Tretinoin and Mometasone. These ingredients on long term use will damage your skin. Mometasone is a steroid which on long term application can cause thinning of skin, hair growth and white discoloration of skin. Do not get deceived by initial improvement. Please stop these cream immediately and report to your dermatologist.

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