Hi,

Applying steroid creams like Lomela has severe side effects over the skin when applied for a longer duration of time and the side effects may take over the benefits.

As you have stopped applying Lomela I would not advise you to use it again and keep patience as it can take some time for your skin to come out of the side effects of the steroid ointment and improve.

For improving the complexion or reducing pigmentation you can apply Kojic acid and Arbutin containing creams. Massage gently with aloe vera gel. Scrub your face with a gentle face scrub. Take a Vitamin C candy.

Along with it drink plenty of water and eat a nutritious diet. Avoid going into the sun and always use a sunscreen lotion when going into the sun.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
Dentist
