Hi.. Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.. I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.. As per your complain Clonate is a steroid based cream containing Clobetasol and although steroid creams initially shows wonderful effects on face by reducing pigmentation and brightening the face.. But long term use has severe side effects like increased darkness or pimentation of skin, skin thinning, pimples, inflammation, rashes, itching, excess hair growth and dilated veins under the skin.. I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist who can evaluate you clinically and also advise you a low potency steroid cream that has to be used for a week regularly and then gradually tapering down the use and then will be stopped gradually.. It will help in preventing side effects of sudden withdrawal.. You can start using her safe depigmentation creams and facewash like salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing facewash, kojic acid, arbutin and glycolic acid creams etc.. Vitamin E and C containing creams are also helpful.. Take Vitamin C supplements.. You can apply cooled aloevera gel on face to soothe the skin and avoid any chemical cosmetic.. You can also go for treatments like Microdermabrasion, chemical peeling and dermal rollers, photofacial etc to reduce pigmentation and scars.. Hope this information helps.. Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
