Brief Answer:
side effect after long term use

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your query.
Using skin creams for getting fairer for long term causes side effects. In your case, it is allergic reaction on going to sunlight. For this i usually suggest my patients to use sun screen creams containing SPF 15 or more. Before going out, apply it half an hour before to your exposed parts. After returning to darker places wash your face properly every time. This will help in reducing your problem.

Avoid using unnecessary skin creams for getting fairer.

Hope i have answered you.

Wish you good health.

Regards
Dr. Gaurav Katiyar
