Hi, you can use another tube of kojivit . It contains kojic acid which helps in reduction of pigmentation and has relatively less side effects as compared to other preparations containing steroids. It is safe for long term use but it wont be required for life time. You will see reduction in pigmentation in few months so you have to be patient.

I would like to suggest you to add a broad spectrum sunscreen during the day time.

Hope this helps you.
