Following Your Recommendation, I Used Nepiwhite To Reduce The Dark

Posted on Sun, 5 Feb 2023

Question: Following your recommendation, I used Nepiwhite to reduce the dark spots on my face. A few days later, I developed an allergic reaction resulting in itching and skin peeling around the neck area. You advised me to use desonide lotion, and now the itching and skin peeling have stopped, but the skin color in that area remains dark. Can you please advise how to get rid of this.
