Hi,

Firstly you must stop apply any steroid containing cream. You can apply any depigmenting cream which is devoid of hydroquinone or steroids such as mometaonse, fluticasone, betamethasone etc. For example, you can use Lumivoid cream which should be applied on dark skin at night.

Also, you must regularly use sunscreen lotion, for example sunprotect SPF 26 sunscreen lotion, on all sun-exposed areas at 8 AM, 11 AM and 2 PM. If your rash worsens or if you have any other symptoms, you must consult your Dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
