i used triamcinolone acetonide ointment usp 0. 1% on my face and now my face is discolored in that area? . the affected area is lighter. not drastically but noticeable. will my skin recover its color again? if so how long?
this type of steroid should not be used on the face for a prolonged period of time and it can cause a steroid discoloration. you will need to show this skin change to a good dermatologist to ask those very specific questions about recovery. it would not be possible to blindly guess over the internet. a hands-on examination is required. in the meantime stop the triamcinolone.
