View allI've been using Panderm Plus cream for over a year, but I would stop and start using it again. Initially, my skin was clear, but then I started getting one or two pimples. I saw a doctor who told me to stop using the cream because it has steroids. Now I'm using Derma Dew soap and Kojic cream for the pimple marks. I'm really worried about the effects of the steroid on my skin. Can you tell me more about the side effects, and will the new products help with the pimple marks?
Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm really worried because my skin has become much darker over the past few years, and I just want to get back to my natural skin tone.

Do you have any advice or suggestions?
