May be due to a condition called oral thrush, which is a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. I recommend using an antifungal medication such as clotrimazole. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding sugary foods can help prevent the infection from worsening.

An alternative cream that you can try for pigmentation is Hydroquinone in combination with Tretinoin cream and corticosteroid cream. You can apply a thin layer of this combination cream once daily at night. Make sure to use a sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further pigmentation.

Question 4

Ive been using Tenovate GN and Brite cream on my face for about 4 years now. Every time I stop using them, my skin starts to get darker and I get pimples. Im worried about whats happening. Should I continue using them, or is there something else I can do?

Accepted Answer

Long-term use of topical steroids like Tenovate GN can lead to skin thinning, discoloration, and acne breakouts when discontinued abruptly. Brite cream is a combination of multiple ingredients that help with skin brightening. To address the darkening and pimples upon discontinuation, you can gradually taper off the use of Tenovate GN to prevent rebound effects. You can switch to a milder steroid cream like Hydrocortisone for a short period to help with the transition. For skin brightening, you can consider using products containing ingredients like Vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid.

Use a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin for the pimple near your eye and on your head scalp. Apply a small amount to the affected areas twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling.
