Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

To be very clear using a steroid based cream for fairness is not a good idea as many a times in steroid based creams the side effects overweights the benefits. Mmcod or momenta furoate is a steroid based cream and using it for a month or two can cause certain side effect 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 dependant 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. So you need to discuss with a. Dermatologist and if you use better use under his supervision. As far as Eliva is concerned you can cerybell use it as it is an appropriate combination containing kojic acid, Vitamin E, and other ingredients.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
