This cream contains potent steroid which on regular use damages the skin. You need to stop it gradually under supervision of dermatologist.

Did your friend use the cream under supervision of a doctor? It has strong ingredients that over a long period of time can effect the quality and colour of skin. Please take online consultation so that next steps of what to do regarding how to stop this cream and what medication to use to manage the redness and darkness can be discussed.
