Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello dear,
Welcome to HCm.
i have read your query and understood your concern.

You have correctly observed the changes. Steroidal creams on long term usage makes the skin thin, causes acne,increased hair growth, pigmentation etc.
I will advise you to stop applying and use safer creams like those containing kojic acid, vitamin C, glycolic acid, arbutin etc.
Melaglow and glyco both are safer preparations.
But before that, you need to moisturise the skin well so that it can regain its lost strength and tone.
You may discuss this with your dermatologist.
Stay healthy.
