Hello,
Itâs not recommended to use creams like Melacare while breastfeeding without a doctorâs supervision, as they contain potent ingredients that may not be safe during this period. For pigmentation, itâs important to choose safe and gentle options tailored to your condition.
Next Steps
I recommend an online consultation to assess your skin and provide personalized advice on safe alternatives. I am happy to help you with this.

It is not advisable to take melacare cream because it has ingredients that are not safe to take during pregnancy and breast feeding. However, there are other safe options available that can help lighten your pigmentation. Please take online consultation so that degree and cause of pigmentation can be assessed and treatment advised.
