Side effects of topical steroids
I was using a steroid cream on my face which gave me a fairer skin. I have stopped using the cream since 4 months but now my skin is turning dark. How long will it take for the skin whitening due to steroid cream to wear off?

First and foremost please never use steroid cream for fairness.. it can cause many problems.. redness, acne, skin becomes thin and sensitive and dependant.. it's good you have stopped.. please consult a dermatologist with photographs for proper treatment
