I'm a mom to a 10-month-old baby boy, and I've noticed his skin is quite dark. I'm really hoping to enhance his skin tone. Could you share some safe skin whitening tips for babies? I'm worried about any potential side effects these might have, and I'm curious if the changes would be permanent. Just want to make sure it's safe for my little one.

I've been worried ever since I used Betnovat for a month or two last year and then stopped when I found out it could be harmful. A couple of weeks after I quit, I noticed these bumps showing up and now my skin is really sensitive and dry. Do you think these are side effects from Betnovat, and if they are, will my skin eventually recover? How long might it take for everything to get back to normal? I've started using Cetaphil cleanser and Physiogel cream, but I'm not totally sure if any of this is related to Betnovat. Could you advise on this?
