Hi, thanks for posting your query

Panderm plus contains a potent steroid clobetasole , which should not be used without doctor's advise
especially on face for more than 2 weeks as it may lead to thinning of skin , visible blood vessels and pimples

You need to discontinue it and use clindamycin and adapalene combination for pimples and get it evaluated by a doctor for the type of acne and appropriate treatment . Once acne is under control you may use depigmentation creams as per doctor's advice

Hope his solves your query
