Shampoo which contain active ingredients like pyrithione ,zinc, selenium sulfide, ketoconazole, salicylic acid, and coal tar can work to reduce dandruff. since there are many underlying reasons(as simple as stress) it is better to take an expert opinion first before using OTC shampoos

I'm thinking about stopping my use of Melacare. Can you suggest another cream that can help change my skin tone and make it look fairer? I'm a bit concerned about finding the right alternative.

If someone stops using Melacare cream, they can consider using a cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone furoate. One such cream is called "Skinlite Cream." It should be used once daily at night for a limited duration under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
