I've been dealing with this issue for about 5 months now. My face has been releasing this strange, white powdery stuff, and when I scratch it, my skin feels really tight and flaky. Any idea what might be going on with my skin?

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 been using Lumise C gel for my acne marks and skin tan, but I'm also struggling with low vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels. Could these deficiencies be affecting my skin, or is the gel enough to help with my issues? I'm really concerned about how to get my skin healthy again. Any advice would be great.

Using Lumise C gel can help with your acne marks and skin tan. It contains Vitamin C which can help brighten the skin and reduce dark spots. Additionally, it can also help in collagen production which can improve skin texture. For your low Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels, I recommend taking supplements such as Neurobion Forte (Vitamin B12) and D-rise (Vitamin D) as prescribed by your doctor.
