Melacare contains hydroquinone, which is a toxic chemical and might cause confetti like depigmentation. And that is irreversible. It might cause irritation, skin might become reddish and burning may be there. I would like to advise you to stop its application immediately.
Your skin is fair,why should you apply such depigmenting cream? You just keep your skin protected from sun rays. Avoid overexposure to sun. You may use sunscreen lotion of high SPF.
You may take fruits containing vitamin C like guava,orange. You may take vitamin C tab twice day. You may take glutathion containing tab also. You may apply kojic acid containing cream on face at night.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
