Hi,

I would like to inform you that Triglow cream is a steroid based cream containing Hydroquinone, Tretinoin and Fluocinolone (steroid). Steroid creams initially shows wonderful effects on face by reducing pigmentation and brightening the face. But long term use has severe side effects like skin thinning, pimples, inflammation, rashes, itching, excess hair growth and dilated veins under the skin. Also, on long term use the skin becomes addicted or dependent on steroids and once the use is suddenly stopped, there are withdrawal side effects and it is the same thing that you are facing now that is increased pigmentation, rashes, swelling, redness etc.

I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist who can evaluate you clinically and also advise you a low potency steroid cream that has to be used for a week regularly and then gradually tapering down the use and then will be stopped gradually. It will help in preventing side effects of sudden withdrawal. Once the side effects resolve completely you can start using her safe depigmentation creams and face wash like salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing face wash, kojic acid, arbutin and glycolic acid creams etc. You can apply cooled aloe vera gel on face to soothe the skin.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
