Dull and dark face
Hi, I had used metacortil lite cream for years and I'm off this steroid cream for 5 months . On my Steroid withdrawal journey , in the beginning I faced some issues like red itchy bumps but after taking medicine and using only mild facewash and moisturizer those bumps have faded. However my face looks very very dark as compared to other parts of my body. I have been asked by my dermat to use Kojic acid cream but it makes my face even more darker. I have been in constant state of depression about how my face is looking right now and I want to use the metacortil lite cream again but I'm trying not to. Please help me get rid of this hyperpigmentation. Suggest me some cream or any medicine that work as effectively as metacortil lite cream. I want the dullness and darkness to fade. I want a healthy glowing skin please.

Creams like metacortil lite should be used for a period of 1 to 2months not more than that if you have used for morethan 2months there are disadvantages more than advantages
Next Steps
your treatment should be focused on restoring the skin barrier and later on the depigmenting creams
start with skin barrier repair gels or creams along with sunscreen(reapply every 3hrs)

Please do not worry. Effective treatment options are available; however, management depends on the severity and extent of the condition. A detailed medical history is essential for appropriate evaluation and treatment planning.
Kindly schedule an online consultation with a dermatologist for a comprehensive assessment, prescription, and further guidance.”
