Skin discoloration
Hello experts, Greetings of the day!!!
My name is Neha and I am a 29year old female.
Case history.
I was on treatment for acne starting 12 dec 2022. I was prescribed epiduo gel and was asked to apply in the evening for 2 hrs. I wrongly used the cream around my eye and mouth, thinking the redness is the common effect of epiduo I did not took it seriously.
Later after one week I got a rash near my mouth and skin turned dark. Also my skin at the Side of forehead near eye became dark. So it was a dark patch like situation on my face.
I had to go out for work on 6/1/23 which lead to sun exposure and the dark skin at the side of the forehead near left eye turned into blister and peeled. I rushed to the doctor to which he asked me to stop epiduo and prescribed medrol 4 mg for 7 days, Cetaphil dam lotion and calosoft Af.
As of today the dark skin patch are faded a bit,but around the mouth I have got small pimples which itch mildly at times.
Please suggest if there is a treatment
