Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have used Fucicort cream on my face for two days. Then I got a red burning sensation. Now 6 weeks later, the places where I put the cream on are shiny and wrinkly and skin texture is different. Is this going to go away?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Hope you are having a good day and staying safe. From your brief history I understand that you got a reaction to the topical you were using. But it is not mentioned for what indication you used Fucicort. Since it is a steroidal cream, it can cause a skin reaction to some sensitive skin type. The change in the texture of that area is because of the same reason. Any hypopigmentation that is produced on the skin will take a normal course of 4-6 months to revert back to normal by itself, so do not panic. However, if you want rapid results you can choose laser assisted treatments. But for a few days refrain from using any makeup or chemical products on skin and apply just a gel-based sunscreen such as LaField sunscreen 2 hours before getting out in the sun.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
