full body skin whitening cream - #18805

Ayush

I am really confused and desperate for some advice here. A few months ago, I started using a full body skin whitening cream because my friend recommended it. She said it worked wonders for her and I thought I’d give it a shot. Initially, it seemed to lighten my skin a bit, but then I noticed some weird side effects like increased dryness and a few patches. I thought maybe it’s just my skin adjusting? But now, I’m kinda freaking out because I read that some full body skin whitening creams can actually damage skin long-term. Like, how does that even happen? I mean, at first, I was all about achieving an even skin tone but now I’m worried I might’ve messed it up even more. I haven't really been consistent with application, like some days I forget, and I use sunblock, but I'm still scared my skin is becoming worse! Has anyone else dealt with these issues using a full body skin whitening cream? Should I stop entirely or is there a way to safely use it? Really need some allopathic docs to guide me on this. Not sure if I’m overthinking it, but these darker patches are really stressing me out and I just want to know if it’s safe to continue or should I just look for alternatives?
