Cardiologist Dr. Anantharamakrishnan's  Response
Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

The active component or one of the several additives are responsible for this...
One of them has also photo-sensitivity...

The doctor sounds right! - Pressure in applying that allows it to go deep - to the dermis and beyond! / hence the delay - until the substance is eliminated from the system. The outer skin is being constantly shed / until the new one takes over the problem will continue...
Cure is sure, but takes its own sweet time...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
