You are suffering from a condition called as exogenous ochronosis. It resluts due to prolonged use of hydroquinone. Hydroquinone should never be used for such prolonged periods. Treatment isa bit difficult. Tretinoin/ adapalene gel, CO2 lasers might help. Treatment will take time, probably a couple of months.

You may need a lower strength or a different retinoid. You can also try to apply it after using a good moisturiser, also moisturise well throughout the day. If the dryness and peeling still persist, its better to consult a dermatologist for personalised advice on which retinoid to use and how.

Hi, use a moisturizer like venusia and sunscreen before going out in sun to help skin heal. Use tretinoin only on normal skin, at night very little amount under doctor's supervision.

No creams can make you fair. U still believe these ad. If underlying pathology present even in form of tanning that can be corrected. It might eventually gives you better complexion. So consult a dermatologist.
