Hi,


You seem to have developed an allergic skin disease.
Such a skin allergy can develop on rubbing of the triglow cream.
You should stop the application of this cream for sometime.
You should avoid applying any kind of skin irritants like dettol, spirit over it.

You might need to apply a mild topical steroid cream over the affected area twice a day for few days.
Take some oral antihistamines along.
Since this cream is causing irritation, it would be better for you to use a milder lightening agent like kojic acid.
See a nearby dermatologist if the condition tends to persist despite this therapy.

Hope it helps,


Dr Geetika Paul.
