I've been using Pendram Plus for a while and now I've got these dark circles and my skin has turned really dark. I'm kind of worried about how I can fix this. Any suggestions on what to do?

Prolonged use of Pendram Plus, a topical corticosteroid cream, can lead to skin darkening and other side effects. To address these issues, follow these steps: Reversing Skin Darkening 1. Stop using Pendram Plus: Discontinue using the cream to prevent further skin darkening.Reducing Dark Circles 1. Eye creams: Use eye creams containing ingredients like: - Caffeine (reduces puffiness) - Peptides (stimulates collagen production) - Vitamin K (fades dark circles) 2. Cold compress: Apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce puffiness. 3. Elevate your head: Sleep with your head slightly elevated to reduce fluid accumulation under the eyes. 4.
