Elocon can help in reducing pigmentation but should be used for limited period & under your preacribing drs supervision.
See a plastic surgeon or dermatologist who will assess the problem and then prescribe. Its in your interest not to go for an online prescribed medication. Its difficult ,rather impossible to give a prescription online without seeing a patient
