Hi.. Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.. I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.. As per your complain I would like to inform you that Panderm Plus cream is a steroid based cream containing a combination of antibiotic, antifungal and steroid components.. Steroid creams initially shows wonderful effects on face by reducing pigmentation and brightening the face.. But long term use has severe side effects like skin thinning, pimples, inflammation, rashes, itching, excess hairgrowth and dilated veins under the skin.. Also on long term use the skin becomes addicted or dependant on steroids and once the use is suddenly stopped, there are withdrawal side effects and it is the same thing that you are facing now that is increased pigmentation, rashes, swelling, redness etc.. The symptoms that you are experiencing are all due to side effects of the steroid cream and you need 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.. Once the side effects resolve completely 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.. As of now you can take anti histamine like levocetrizine to reduce itching and redness.. Do cool compresses on face and wash face with cool water.. You can apply cooled aloevera gel on face to soothe the skin.. Hope this information helps.. Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
