Hi I can't explain why your relative haven't got Ochronosis but you will definitely land up with lot of side effects as skinlite contains strong steroid. I would strongly recommend you to stop using it and consult a dermatologist immediately for further management. Regards Dr Vijay Adhe Eternis Skin & Hair Clinic Pune www.eternisclinic.com
