Baby facial skin is lightened due to use of fucidin 2% cream & hydrocortisone acet 1% for one week use. will her tan skin colour come back?

Unlikely due to med: Those meds should not be causing any fading. Would wonder if condition for which child is being treated may be the cause. If so, in MOST cases, skin color comes back to normal, but may take weeks/months to do so. Best to talk to your doctor about your concerns. Hope this was helpful. Best of luck for your child and you with this. Dr R
