Its not advisable to use cosmolite cream for a long duration as it contains steriod and hydroquinone which can cause various side effects like thinning of skin redness ,irritation etc. You can use creams containing natural ingredients like kojic acid ,arbutinin and mulberry extracts. Chemical peels can also be done to remove tan and restore natural skin tone. For that consult dermatologist.

Cosmelite contains steroid which should not be used on the face. It will give you brightening but the face will become dependent on it and will become dull as soon as you stop. In the long term it can cause the steroid side effects- thinning of skin, visible veins, excess hair growth, pigmentation, stretch marks etc. Stop it immediately and switch to a mild vitamin e cream or moisturiser. It will take 3 to 6 months to recover from the steroid dependent skin.

Hello Lybrate user. Melalite forte cream contains hydroquinone which can cause irritation, redness or dermatitis. I would recommend you to first find out the cause of pigmentation on your son's neck instead of using this over the counter medication as treating the cause will help in reduction of the same.
