Hi.Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Panderm cream contains a potent steroid. It should not be used as a fairness cream. Steroids if used indiscriminately can be associated with side effects like:
-Acne,
-Photosensitivity,
-Skin thinning and telangiectasias,
-Facial hair growth in females.
I would advice against using panderm cream on face on account of the above mentioned side efects.
If i was your treating doctor, I would advice that you use a broad spectrum sunscreen throughout the day.
As a treating doctor I would advice that it is better to use a cream containing kojic acid, hydroquinone, glycolic acid, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, arbutin , liquorice etc in various formulations because they are safe for long term use.
Normally it would take 3-6 months for the steroid induced hair growth to reverse.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
Regards
