Can betamethasone or methoxsalen lead to skin darkening?how?

Depends: Most topical steroids can be used to lighten skin as well as reduce scar height. It is not recommended to use any topical steroid for a prolonged period, since they have numerous side effects. Always best to see your physician for advice.
