Brief Answer:
Not safe.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

In my clinic too see many of my patients trying panderm + and then visiting for the management.
For your advice the cream contains anti bacterial, anti fungal and steroid, all in one cream. No guidelines has recommended such treatment. Initially for infected acne and to reduce inflammation this cream may help since it contain antibacterial and also steroid. But later on with long duration of use your skin start thinning itself and also you will land up in more complicated, difficult to treat shin conditions.

So Stop applying the cream and also explain to your friend who has influenced you to use this.

I hope this information helps you and also answered your query.
