This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a very dark skin. One of my friends used skinlite cream and she has turned very fair. Can I also use that cream to get a fair and glowing skin?  I really want a fair skin. I am just tired of my skin. Please help me doctor.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Natural complexion is the best.

Melanin, the pigment responsible for the skin color has protective effects.

Use cleanser like cetaphil to wash your face.

You can use sunscreen lotions like shade lotion regularly 2-3 times a day.

Skinlite is a combination cream with steroid too. It may do more harm than good. Once you stop using, it may worsen the situation or rashes may erupt.

You can use peeling agents like glyaha lotion to begin with and later with glyaha-hq lotion in the night after consulting you doctor.

Consult a dermatologist online for further follow up.

Patient's Query

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You can go through the advice given earlier. That is the better step for long run.

Cosmetics which claim good effect can harm more.There will be withdrawal effects and reaction to them.

Do not get disheartened.

Eat lots of fruits and vegetables.

Take antioxidant tablets like Oxidon or Oxivit.

Chemical peeling is another option for your problem.

You can consult a dermatologist online for other options like chemical peels.

Important Warning: Steroid Creams

Creams containing steroids, such as Skinlite, can cause serious side effects including skin thinning, increased sensitivity, and rebound hyperpigmentation. They should only be used under strict medical supervision for specific conditions, not for general skin lightening. Medications should be taken after consulting a physician. The dosages will be prescribed by the physician. Do not alter, start, or stop medications without consulting a healthcare professional.

This information is based on general medical guidance. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice; consult a qualified clinician.

Always consult a doctor before taking medication; self-medication carries serious health risks. Take exact prescribed doses, and never start, change, or stop treatment without medical supervision.
