skin whitening cream side effects - #18564

Veer

I am 28 and over the past few months, I've been using a skin whitening cream my friend recommended. I wanted a more even skin tone for an upcoming wedding and honestly thought it would be a quick fix. At first, I thought it was working – my skin felt smoother, but after a couple of weeks, I started noticing some weird issues. Like, my skin became really sensitive, and I’d get these red patches outta nowhere. Then there’s this burning feeling after applying the cream, and I’m freaked out about skin whitening cream side effects. I didn’t read much into it at first, but the more I think about it, the more concerned I get that these skincare products aren’t safe. I also read online about other skin whitening cream side effects like peeling or discoloration, and I'm worried I might be damaging my skin. Like, do I just stop using it, or should I consult a dermatologist? Has anyone else experienced bad reactions, or is this just something that happens when using skin whitening creams? How do I know if I should keep going or just ditch it? I really want to have clear and beautiful skin, but not at the cost of my health!
