Hello,

Dipsalic F cream is used to treat psoriasis, dermatosis, ichthyosis & acne, etc. Side effect of Dipsalic cream is that it causes a change in color & texture of the skin.

If after discontinuation of the cream you are getting your normal skin color & tone, it is better. If your skin problem has cured, no need to use the cream.

Your skin color is changing due to the side effect. For facial fairness, you are suggested to get facial, herbal bleaching or laser treatment done. You may visit a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
