Dermatologist,  's  Response
Clobetasol is not approved for fairness. It is to be used only under supervision of a dermatologist and not otherwise & never on the face. You will find that you get 'good result' with it but once you stop it , there will be rebound effect like redness, pimple like spots etc and you will sort of get addicted to it. If you continue ABUSING it, then side effects can be - excessive hair growth, thin skin, increased visibility of blood vessels, ( to name a few). These side effects are PERMANENT and cannot be reversed. Please stop using it immediately.
You may check out about ITATSA (IADVL Task Force Against Topical Steroid Abuse ) and their recent publications online for more info and awareness.
