Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Lomela is a lightening cream containing a steroid. It should not be used without a dermatologist 's prescription. It is important to asses the cause of your dark skin/ dark patch before trying any creams.
Even if you use Lomela, it should not be used for more than 4 weeks as it can cause side effects like redness, skin thinning, white patches and sun sensitivity. So please consult your dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis instead of using creams by yourself.
Take care.
