I have used steroid on my face so to cure the side effects of steroids I went to dermatologist and he suggested me tacrolimus ointment and I have applied it for 4-5 months. I have stopped using steroid and now I am not using any ointment on my face, but due to the use of tacrolimus my skin becomes photosensitive and pigmentation occurred on my nose and cheek area, what should I do to cure this pigmentation. Can I use kojic acid cream to treat this, if yes then suggest me some steroid free kojic acid cream.

No. As soon as u stop using it, slowly ur pigmentation problem will be back. You can apply aloe vera juice/gel from its leaf (fresh), not from readymade gels available in market. Remove skin of an aloe Vera leaf. Take /scoop out gel. Apply this gel to your face skin. Wash with plain water after an hour. Stop using soap on face. Instead take a spoon of milk, add a pinch of turmeric (haldi). Mix n apply on face with the help of cotton. Leave for a few minutes then wash off. Apply moisturizer like coconut oil. Simple Honey Mask--Before applying this mask, rinse your face with warm water to open up pores. Then apply honey and leave it on the skin for 30 minutes. Rinse the honey off with warm water; then rinse again with cold water to close the pores. Use some sunblock with SPF (at least 50) every time you go out in sun. Apply it 30 mins before going out Use umbrella when going in sun. Wear full sleeves cloths Drink plenty of fluids. Don?t be stressed. For more details consult online
