Question

I've been using this skin lightening cream for about 5 years, but I recently stopped. Now I'm having side effects like itching and irritation, plus my skin color has gotten darker. I'm really worried about this. Can you help me figure out what I should do?

Long-term use of skin-lightening creams like Skin Lite can cause skin damage and rebound darkening. Stop using the cream completely and avoid sun exposure by using sunscreen (SPF 30+). Keep your skin moisturized with gentle, fragrance-free creams. Consult a dermatologist for proper treatment, such as medications or therapies to repair and even out your skin.
