Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

Panderm cream contains a potent steroid and it should never be used as a fairness cream

It can cause various side effects like acne, photosensitivity, skin thinning and telangiectasias, facial hair growth (specially troublesome in females).

If I was your treating doctor I would have asked you to use a broad spectrum sunscreen, that which offers both UVB and UVA protection throughout the day.

A skin lightening cream containing one or more of the following skin lightening agents e.g kojic acid, glycolic acid, hydroquinone, arbutin etc can be used once or twice daily to fade away the tan gradually
