Thin skin after bleaching products probably due to strong steroids

You probably received strong topical steroids which are inappropriate for long term use, especially around the eyes. The best thing to do is to either nothing or if tolerated, use a lactic acid cream as long as it is not irritating. That would address lightening the area and building collagen and elastin back. Unfortunately, the damage can be permanent so nothing is guaranteed to help.
