I'm using Ilumax skin brightening cream by Ajanta to help with tanning and get a fairer skin tone. I'm curious, how long does it usually take to start seeing results with this cream? Also, how long should I continue using it to maintain the fairness? I'm a bit worried about what happens after I stop using the cream. Will my skin get darker again? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've noticed these weird goosebump-like rashes on my skin, mostly on my arms, and now there's one on my cheek too. They're lighter than my normal skin tone and itch sometimes. I've been using Flucort, and they seem to disappear, but I'm still concerned. What could be causing these rashes, and should I keep using Flucort or try something else? Any advice would be really helpful.
