Clobetasol is a strong potency steroid which when applied over skin in excess amount or for long term may result in undue side effects like light colored skin, acneifprm eruption, striae, telangiectasia.
The hypopigmented skin usually get normal within 1-2 months of stopping steroid application. You may apply moisturiser or coconut oil over the affected area for faster recovery.
