I've been using Cool Lip for about six months now and I'm starting to worry about any possible side effects. I'm particularly concerned about whether it might affect my sexual organs. How can I stop using it safely?

I've been using Getlite cream with hydroquinone and mometasone for the last two years. Now my skin's gone really white, but when I try to stop using the cream, my skin gets darker, even worse than before. Im worried its not good to keep using it long-term because of potential problems. I'm really hoping to stop using this cream. How can I wean off of it and keep my skin looking healthy without going back to how it was? A neighbor, who's a pharmacist, recommended it, but I'm not sure what to do. Any advice on maintaining my skins glow once I stop this cream?
Dermat opinion.
