Is it possible to permanently reduce melanin in the skin, and if I use melanin-reducing creams, how can I avoid skin issues or diseases?

Reducing melanin permanently is not possible, as melanin production is a natural process in the body. However, there are ways to lighten the skin temporarily using topical creams containing ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoids. It is important to use these creams as directed by a dermatologist to avoid any potential side effects.
