Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns....
As per your complain as you have used a
steroid [dexamethasone] containing cream for a long time, the symptoms of skin darkening and red bumps seems to be due to withdrawal effects of the steroid and bulge under eye can be due to enlargement or dilatation of vein that is also a side effect of steroid..
You should not use the steroid containing cream henceforth and keep patience as the symptoms will gradually become less severe and resolve..
You can apply
kojic acid containing cream,
vitamin E gel and cool compresses over face for lightening the complexion..
Microdox contains active ingredient Doxycycline and can be taken for 45 days but in case if it causes side effects like rashes, itching, breathlessness,
diarrhoea etc, it needs to be discontinued otherwise it can be taken..
Other thing is that long term intake of antibiotic can cause resistence but as of now you should take microdox..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
