Hi,
Desonide is a steroid which is quite effective in reducing hyper-pigmentation. But do not use steroids for more than 2 weeks since after stopping the drug use for a long time, the symptoms can worsen. Kojic acid and sunscreen can be used.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
