Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain it seems like Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and the medications advised to you seems to be Demelan ointment that contains depigmenting agents like Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
It is safe for long term use and you can use it continuously till the pigmentation completely vanishes/fades..
You can also continue with Vitamin E capsules as well as apply vitamin E gel at night..
You can also exfoliate your skin twice a week using a gentle scrub..
You can also wash your face with Salicylic acid containing facewash..
Drink plenty of water..
Always apply a sunscreen lotion when you go into sun..
Take Vitamin C supplements..

Hope this information helps.

Thanks and regards.
