Hello,
As per my clinical experience, as the long term steroid consumption has changed the melanin homeostasis of the body, it is very very difficult at this stage to get rid off this nasty situation.
However, a skin biopsy with effects over the melanin conversion effects would be helpful to study the severity of the underlying condition and better guidance can be figured out from that.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
