skin lightening medicine - #19632

Avni

I am kinda in a panic here. For a few months, I started using this skin lightening medicine after seeing it on social media. At first, I thought it was a miracle because my skin did seem to brighten up a bit. But now, I’ve developed these weird rashes and some dark patches too, which totally wasn’t what I expected from skin lightening medicine! I feel like I’m stuck in this cycle of using the skin lightening medicine and just making it worse. I didn’t realize there could be side effects like this! Itchy skin has become my new normal, and I can’t stand it. I visited a dermatologist, and they mentioned possible over-usage of skin lightening medicine could lead to this, but I thought I was using it safely. Has anyone here experienced anything similar? Can these side effects from skin lightening medicine go away on their own? I’m worried about permanent damage or something. Should I stop the skin lightening medicine altogether or it there a way to reverse this? I don’t wanna sound dramatic, but my confidence is seriously taking a hit. What’s the deal with skin lightening medicine and safety long-term? Any advice would help me a lot!
