Dark Circles Around Eyes, Dark Complexion. Prescribed Lomela Cream With Sunban Forte Cream. Possible Side Effects Due To Steroid Content?

I am having dark circles around the eyes for long time, almost 5 years and my face look very dark as I was complexion was fair before. Last week, I visited a dermatologist and he prescribed me Lomela cream to be used in the night, Sunban Forte Cream in the morning. He advised me to use the cream till the dark patches clears from the face. I have gone through the web site and found the prescribed cream contains steroid. Hence, could you please let me know how to proceed with this treatment.
