Hello, I don't know who prescribed you mediven cream for skin lightening. Probably it contains Beclomethasone which is a steroid. If this cream is used for a long time your skin become steroid dependent. And the moment you will try to stop it you will develop redness, burning and skin tightening. But remember this cream must be stopped otherwise you will have multiple complications and your face will be damaged badly. So first thing that you can do is fix an appointment with a skin specialist as soon as possible. Thanks.
