Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain in case if you are getting an allergic reaction to bleaching creams the best way to avoid occurrence of allergic reaction is to not use the bleaching creams as they contains harsh chemical substances and can burn/damage sensitive skin..

In case if you have used a steroid based cream for a long time,it can have deleterious effects on the skin and can cause skin thinning, pimples, rashes, increased pigmentation etc..

If this is the case you should completely avoid bleaching and other harsh chemical cosmetics as they can be damaging to skin..
Consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and a proper clinical examination and proper history of usage of steroid creams and examination of skin can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
As of now avoid all kind of skin cosmetics and only apply aloevera gel to soothe the skin..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
