I'm a bit worried because I used hydroquinone 4 for a dark spot on my nose from picking whiteheads, and it seemed to help at first, but after I stopped using it, my nose got even darker. I can't see a dermatologist right now, which is stressful. Will this darkness fade away eventually, even if it takes 6 or 8 months?

That is steroid based cream and has harmful side effects,and you are not supposed to stop it abruptly,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
