Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Panderm Plus
Hi Doctor, I took chemical peel and 1 session of laser for pimple prone n scars skin on face. The effects did not last more than 2 weeks. Then my dermatologist prescribed panderm plus for pimples, wysolone tablet and momate gel for scars but warned to use only sometimes. I never are wysolone and applied momate only twice in a month but panderm plus worked like a miracle for my pimples. However I left my country n could not get in touch with my dermatologist so I decided to check how often can I use panderm plus. On reading people s comments I got worried about side effects. Though I m only getting good effects till now I have been using it since a month on n off n since last week regularly. I m now afraid should I continue it. If not what should I do about my acne they never cease to come coz i hv Pcos problem n I have tried all medicines for acne pcos that s y retorted to chemical peels n lasers which also didn t work. Only panderm gave me clear pimple free skin now I m afraid of stopping it.

Hi,
As per your complain I would like to inform you that Panderm plus is a steroid based cream. Steroid creams initially shows wonderful effects on face by reducing pigmentation and brightening the face. But long term use has severe side effects like 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.
I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist who can evaluate you clinically and also advise you a low potency steroid cream that has to be used for a week regularly and then gradually tapering down the use and then will be stopped gradually. It will help in preventing side effects of sudden withdrawal.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
