Steroids are used to treat skin diseases ( not dark skin) they do whiten the skin for sure - but they cause early ageing, stretch marks, acne and infection and greatly thin the skin.
Also as soon as you stop using it your skin will go back to its normal colour!
I know someone who suffers from real bad rash... the cream they were prescribed by one doctor was stpped by another because according to him although it was showing immediate results for long term it was bad. he said that in a couple of years time the skin will start looking like an old persons, because thats what the steroids do to the skin long term
when patients visit his clinic he does not give proper attention to them and his medications go for long for even a minor skin disease. he is simply after money ..
Prolonged use of steroids does real damage to your skin, especially when used as a skin 'bleaching agent'. Girls in Pakistan will do anything to get rid of acne scarring, girls are getting creams made at chemists using his formulas.
