Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. As per your complain, Panderm Plus cream contains Steroid ingredient Mometasone Furoate and initially it can show good results by reducing pigmentation and dark spots etcetera, but if used for long term, it can cause Steroid dependence and gradually cause thinning and atrophy of skin, eruption of pimples, itching, redness and darkness of face and at times increased hair growth on face. You should stop the use of Panderm Plus cream and in place of it, you can apply Kojic Acid containing creams as they can lighten skin color and can be safe for long-term use. Apply Vitamin E oil/gel at night. Take Vitamin C supplements. Exfoliate your skin atleast once a week and it is good if done twice. Always apply sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun. Drink plenty of water. Other treatments like Photofacial can also help in improvement of skin color. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Honey Arora
