I am 20 years old male. I have some acne, this morning I used locoid lipocream (hydrocortisone) on my face. I only used it once, but it caused discoloration on the applied area (seems lighter than normal), I stopped using it, will my skin color return to normal? And after how much time? Thank you so much I feel so sad.
