I am 22 and also hav pcos & vit-D deficiency. pls tell me what treatment shld I go for to get rid of this problem permanently.

You have developed perioral dermatitis. Please stop using melacare cream as it contains strong steroids which can cause serious side effects in the long run. Steroid induced pimples, photosensitivity that is sun sensitivity, rosacea that is red face, atrophy that is skin thinning, stretch marks, pigmentation, dryness, severe itching etc to name a few side effects. Please don't use any such Steroid containing fairness creams. You will require treatment to slowly put you off this cream by using some substitute as the skin becomes addicted to the steroid. Hence you are facing such a problem. Please call me or send photos through online consult option for proper examination and treatment.,,,
