Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that peeling of skin along with redness and dryness seems to be due to side effects of skinlite cream that is a steroid based cream and long term use of steroid based cream can have deleterious side effects on skin like skin thinning, rashes, pimples, dark pigmentation, excess hairgrowth etc..
I would suggest you to immediately stop using the cream and consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you tapering procedure to stop using the cream to prevent withdrawal symptoms..
You will be advised to take anti allergics like Levocetrizine..
Apply Aloevera gel to lubricate the face and avoid all kind of skin cosmetics..
Do cool compresses on face..
You should avoid sun exposure to prevent photosensitivity..
Drink plenty of water as it help in maintaining skin texture..
Take a healthy and nutritious diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
