Help.after i applied cream onto my face, the next day the spot that i applied to, was lighter compare to my normal skin. what happen? would it fade?

What type of cream?: It is important to be very careful what you apply to your face. Creams containing steroids often cause loss of pigment in the area of skin where applied, causing a lighter spot. It may take some time (months - years) for the area to look normal again.
