I'm 27 and from Tamilnadu. A while back, I accidentally had kerosene poured on me, and since then, my face has been getting darker day by day. I'm really worried about how to get back to my previous skin tone. What can I do to improve my skin?

Accidentally spilling kerosene on your face can cause skin damage and discoloration. To help restore your skin tone, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I've been using Lobate GM cream for a while because it really gave me the fair skin I wanted, so I kept using it for over a year. But I got kind of dependent on it, needing to use it daily. When I stopped, my skin got red and rough. A doctor helped me fix it in a couple of months, but now my skin has gotten too dark and lost its glow. I'm wondering if it's okay to start using Lobate GM cream again to get my skin back to being fair?

Yes, Continue same medications.
