I've been using Faiza cream for about six months, but after I stopped, my face broke out with pimples and acne, and it's gotten way oilier. I'm really worried about this. How can I recover from these issues and work towards getting fairer skin? Can you please help me?

To help with the pimples, acne, and oily skin, you can try using a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to unclog pores and reduce oiliness. Additionally, a topical retinoid cream like Retin-A can help with acne and promote skin cell turnover. To lighten your skin, you can consider using a cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid, but make sure to use it under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Remember to always use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.

View allI've been dealing with a skin issue for about 3 months now. I was using a betamethasone cream on my face, but then I noticed it started turning my face redder and redder. My doctor mentioned I was using a really strong steroid cream on my face, and now I'm not sure how to fix this. My cheeks are constantly red, though there's no itching or irritation. When I go outside, it gets even redder. I'm using Desowen lotion and Emodel lotion for cleansing, but I'm really scared about my skin. It's affecting my confidence, and sometimes I don't even want to leave the house. Can you give me some advice on what I should do?
It sounds like you are experiencing redness on your face due to the prolonged use of a high-potency steroid cream. To help improve the redness and restore your skin's health, I recommend the following: Discontinue the use of betamethasone cream immediately, as advised by your doctor. Continue using Desowen lotion as prescribed. This contains desonide, a mild corticosteroid that can help reduce inflammation and redness. For cleansing, continue using Emodel lotion. Make sure to use a gentle cleanser that is suitable for sensitive skin. Consider using a moisturizer with ingredients like ceramides or hyaluronic acid to help repair your skin barrier and improve hydration. Avoid direct sun exposure and always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when going outside to prevent further damage from UV rays.
