Hi. I guess one has to respect the colour of skin given to us by God. Let us appreciate it. Creams to reduce pigmentation are reasonably safe depending on the medication it contains and if it is prescribed by qualified dermatologists. Pigmentation due to skin problem, uneven skin tone can be treated to have a glowing skin. So don't think of colour, but rather, aim for a healthy skin. Let me know if you need any further assistance in this regard.
