I've been using Betnovate cream on my face for about a year, but then I found out it has steroids, so I stopped. Now my face seems way darker compared to the rest of my body. What can I do to fix this, and should I see a specific type of specialist? I'm really worried about how my skin looks.

I've been using Betnovate cream for nearly two weeks, and instead of improving, the pimples and marks on my face have gotten much worse. I don't usually have acne, but I do have some pimple marks on my face, and my skin is really sensitive and oily. Could this cream be making things worse? What should I do now?

So, I've been dealing with melanin depigmentation and tried out this Pigmanorm cream that's got hydroquinone 4, hydrocortisone 1, and tretinoin 0.1. I applied it for three days, and now my face is all red in those spots. I stopped using the cream, but I'm kind of freaking out about whether this redness will go away on its own. Right now, I'm using Bioderma Sensibio Forte cream because I heard it's good for flushed skin. Do you think the redness will just fade away, or is it something that's going to stick around for a while? Also, I'm putting on Eveline sunscreen SPF 50 three times a day. Could you check out the pics and tell me what you think?

I've heard that Derma Dew Glow Cream might be good, but I'm wondering if it's actually effective for reducing acne marks. Do you think it's safe for me to use it on my own, or should I check in with a dermatologist first?
