Want to use hydroquinone like product
Hi ,
I've been using 2%hydroquinone tretinoin and mometasone cream for over 1 year. Sometimes it just pells off my outer layer of skin and I'll be having a burning sensation.. I think it's due to over application of cream(skinlite in India).But by reading about its effects I'm terrified. And everyone of U will get this information lol. I'm here to ask if there is any thing to get the same brightness as hydroquinone cream? ( Suggestions about laser is also ok) . Because I'm basically weak by mind that I have medium coloured skin and no one can change that mind even after counselling.... So plz suggest me any voice which produce same effect but shouldn't be harmful!! Plz help!

Please stop using skin lite cream as it contains strong steroids which will cause serious side effects. Steroid induced pimples, photosensitivity that is sun sensitivity, rosacea that is red face, atrophy that is skin thinning, stretch marks, pigmentation, dryness, severe itching and hair growth on the face etc to name a few side effects. Reports of skin cancer are also there. Please don't use any such Steroid containing fairness creams. You will require treatment to slowly put you off this cream by using some substitute as the skin becomes addicted to the steroid. Hence you are facing such a problem. Please call me or send photos through online consult option for proper examination and treatment.,,,
