Can the withdrawal symptoms from a steroid cream really linger for up to a year? Is there hope for it to get better? I'm worried because I used the steroid cream unknowingly about two years ago. Could what I'm experiencing still be due to that use? Would really appreciate your help in understanding this.

I've got some trouble with acne on my nose and I'm noticing dark spots on my face, especially where I previously had acne. It's been a bit worrying as these dark spots are sticking around after the acne has cleared up. I also see the same issue with dark spots and acne on my nose. What can I do to get rid of these dark spots? Any advice would be really helpful!
