I've been using Skinlite cream for about 6 months now and it's really changed my fairness. But I know it's not good to use it long-term. What can I do to keep my skin tone the same without continuing the Skinlite cream? Any cream recommendations would be really helpful! I'm a bit worried about my skin adjusting, so any advice would be appreciated.

I've started noticing some white patches on my hip area and they're a bit irritated. I'm worried it might be some kind of fungal infection, but the rest of my body seems fine, no allergy or anything. Also, I'm concerned about preventing any darkening in that area. Could you give me some advice on what might be causing this and how to deal with it?
Based on your description of white patches with slight irritation on your hip area, it does sound like a fungal infection, such as Tinea versicolor. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Additionally, to prevent darkening of the hip area, it's important to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid excessive sweating. You can also use a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone under the guidance of a dermatologist to help with any darkening that may occur. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.
