I've been using Tenovate GN and Brite cream for my face for about four years now. The problem is, whenever I stop using them, my skin darkens and I start getting pimples. I'm really worried about this. What could be going on with my skin, and is there a better way to handle it without relying on these creams?

Long-term use of topical steroids like Tenovate GN can lead to skin thinning, discoloration, and acne breakouts when discontinued abruptly. Brite cream is a combination of multiple ingredients that help with skin brightening. To address the darkening and pimples upon discontinuation, you can gradually taper off the use of Tenovate GN to prevent rebound effects. You can switch to a milder steroid cream like Hydrocortisone for a short period to help with the transition. For skin brightening, you can consider using products containing ingredients like Vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid.
