What Causes Discoloration Of Skin Post Application Of Cutivate Cream For Dermatitis?

Hi! My dermatologist prescribed me Cutivate cream for seborrheic dermatitis on my face. I only used the medication 3 times and it turned my skin gray where I was applying it, which is embarressing. Ive tried getting ahold of my dermotologist twice with no call back. I havent used this cream for about a wk and a half and the rash doesnt seem to be letting up. What could this possibly be?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
dear friend
change in the colour of skin is a documented side effect of the Cutivate (fluticasone propionate cream) that has been prescribed to you
it would be best if you can fix and appointment with your dermatologist ASAP and discuss the matter, for the interim you may discontinue the cream.
