Welcome to the forum.
I can comprehend your concern for the present situation.
After reading your query it appears that you are suffering from steroid abuse and steroid atrophy.
The cream is good but shouldn't be used without a dermatologist's prescription. On its prolonged use it can cause thinning skin which is marked by whitish appearance of the skin.
Megalin Lotion is good alternative to use for white patches and shows its results in few weeks to months period. It is safe and can be very well used. This can be used for a long period without any side effects. This may take few weeks to months of the time to resolve your problem so have patience.
Take care Hope this information will help you.
My best wishes for good health.
