Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

I can understand your concern and after reading the query it appears that you are suffering from steroid abuse and dependence.

skinlite cream contains hydroquinone, steroid and tretinoin. The cream is good but shouldn't be used without a dermatologist's prescription.
It contains steroid in it which causes dependence and hence side effects such as skin thinning, hair growth and visible vessels on skin and recurrent eruptions. All of these combinedly gives dark appearance on face.

The same is for fair & lovely which basically contains bleaching agents and unknown substances causing damage to the skin.
I suggest you to stop the cream immediately and meet a dermatologist to take off the side effects. f I were your dermatologist then would have used Azelaic acid or Kojic acid creams to reduce the side effects.

Take care
