how to get rid of Facial Discoloration caused by topical steroid?

I had a bad case of eczema on my face and neck recently and was prescribed to use Betnovate, Bactin and Elocom twice daily for 2 weeks.. slowly after the 2 weeks i had noticed that my face and neck has white patches (my skin is naturally light brown) there is so much discoloration on my face that with AND without makeup you can see the patches, and it doesn’t cover with makeup.. is there any creams, prescription cremes, home remedies anything possible to get rid of this discoloration.. i use sun screen when i go out, i live in a very hot and humid environment.

and on side-note: i asked the dermatologist that had prescribed me the topical steroids about what to do with the aftermath of the white patches, the dermatologist prescribed me a cream called E-45 to stimulate melanocyte production and bring back my natural color… this cream did not work.. please help … thank you

    My daughter had bad eczema on her face too and the ointment that was prescribed to her did clear up her skin, but she was also left with big white patches on her face, as well as her arms and legs. I’m not sure what can make the patches go away faster, but don’t worry because they will go away on their own eventually. For my daughter, it took a couple of weeks for them to start fading.

    Consuming foods rich in Vitamin E are helpful for eczema patients. Vitamin E is good for the skin and helps combat skin conditions such as eczema.
