Brief Answer:
combination of chemical peels and topical medicati
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
Tenovate gm is a combination cream containing potent topical steroid and antibiotic . This is not at all recommended for changing complexion and especially it is not advisable to apply on face .
It gives temporarily false whitening effect but has lots of adverse effects in the form
Of thinning of skin, acneiform eruptions, striae, increase hair growth, atrophy and many more.
I will advice you to not apply it at all. It makes the skin addicted to steroids.
instead in such patients, I usually advice my patients to go for combination therapy including combination of chemical peels by an expert dermatologist and topical depigmenting creams like kojic acid, vitamin C, arbutin, licorice etc.
You may discuss this with your dermatologist and start the treatment.
I hope it helps.
If you have any further query you may ask me.
