Dermatologist 's  Response
hi 
You have been using a steroid over your face since past 6 months which is a long time. 
By now, your skin must have developed signs of steroid abuse along with steroid dependence.
First of all,you should stop using this cream over your face.

You should start using a mild lightening agent like kojic acid over the dark spots twice a day.
You might face certain problems like increase in lesions , irritation , itching or redness over your face once you stop suddenly stop with topical steroids.
So you have to be patient and follow this regime regularly. Use skin moisturizer regularly and use a sunscreen before going out in the sun each time.

If the problem continues, you will need proper assessment and treatment by a skin specialist. 

Hope it helps
