Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your problem. But you did not mention for how long did you apply Mometasone Furoate cream. All your symptoms match with rosacea. However, it can also be steroid induced skin atrophy if you have used the cream for a longer time.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I went through your images (the attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). Since you are a very fair-skinned patient, you are naturally more exposed to sun radiation, which is UV-A and UV-B (ultraviolet A and B) rays. In effect, what it does is disrupt the self-healing power of your skin and make you more vulnerable to sun damage. The damage accumulates over time, and the net result is skin changes along with the symptoms you described in your questionnaire.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The darker skin tone can be attributed to tanning and also ones natural color. I therefore recommend you daily sunscreen, use it 20 minutes prior to going outside.

For additional skin whitening, you require skin treatment like skin whitening chemical peels and laser sessions to be honest.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. You have been following all the right advice. Continue the same for the face.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern, and I have seen the images (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The triggers include sunlight or harsh irritant chemicals.
