Hello, I recently used elocon ointment near my nose and after 5 hours I noticed that the area with the cream had lightened by a few tones. I only used it once, it is not itchy but I was wondering if this would fade away with time? My skin in that area is thin but there are no signs of damage. What can I do to even out the color?

Hi miss Lybrate user, elocon cream is not used for pigmentation concerns on a regular daily basis. If your skin concern is pigmentation, I advise you to consult a dermatologist. You can use a kojic acid or glycolic acid preparation in the nighttime to see some improvement. Thank you.
