Brief Answer:
Be patient and follow the treatment,will take time
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
You have been using Skinlite cream since a long time . Although it is an effective lightening agent but it's long term use is associated with various side effects like skin pigmentation,irritation,redness ,itching,excessive growth of hair etc etc .
Now most importantly, you need to discontinue its application .
You will surely face problems like increased pigmentation and itching once you stop using it . Now since your skin has become addicted to the cream , it will take sometime for you skin to be normal once again .
Kojimax cream is a very good substitute and is very safe to use also. But it does take time in reducing the pigmentation.
So my advise would be to follow your treating doctor patiently. You have been very rightly prescribed various agents to bring your skin colour back to normal .
So use Kojimax cream twice a day .
Regularly use a medicated sunscreen everytime before going out in the sun .
Take tablet celin twice a day ,
In addition , you can discuss the option of chemical peels with your dermatologist.
I am sure peels will help in speeding up the recovery process.

Thanks for the detailed reply, I just wanted to inform you that my overall body color is getting darker is it because of skinlite ( I have not used skinlite on my body) is there an alternate lotion I can use to get to original skin color and can you suggest some good medicated sunscreen lotion which does not cause acne.
Brief Answer:
Use sunscreen regularly
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
The change in the body color could not have been due to Skinlite cream .
You can take oral vitamin c tablets once daily . They help in overall improvement of skin color .
Use neutrogena spf 50 dry touch sunscreen .
