I'm really curious about something. I've been using Fair and Lovely cream for the past six months, and I'm wondering if there are any side effects I should know about. Also, I'm a bit worried that if I stop using it, my face might get darker again. Is that something I should expect?

Fair and Lovely cream contains ingredients like hydroquinone, which can cause side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin with long-term use. It is not recommended to use hydroquinone-containing products for extended periods of time without medical supervision. If you stop using the cream, your skin may revert back to its original condition, but it is important to transition to a different skincare routine to maintain the results. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and guidance on alternative skincare products.

I've got this dry, light brown patch under my eye, and the doctor suggested using fusidic acid and mometasone furoate cream. I'm a bit worried because my skin is really sensitive. Could this cream cause any additional problems? I've read some reviews and just want to make sure it's safe for me.

do not use that cream without doctors advice as it contains steroid,consume,vit B supplements and mineral rich foods taht would help you and also visit dermatologist for appropriate management
