Dnt mind my english ooo, i nor go skul ooo It all started in 2009, here it goes My sister is naturally fair, not jst fair bt very very fair in complexion, so she bought a tube cream for her pimple named Betnovate C, little did i knw dat it was a bleaching cream, i started applying it on my face, and my face only, in jst 2 days tym , my face became very fair, very very fair, mean while d rest of my skin is still my normal dark colour, dat time i was stil in secondary skul and we were on holidays, so afta d resumption of skul on d second week i went 2 skul & 2 my gr8test surprise every body started looking at me, bcus my face is so white and my body color is black so i was always shy, but still i continue 2 use d cream jst bcus my face luks so much handsum dan it used 2 b wen i was dark, so it cums 2 a tym wen mostly all my frnds started 2 call me bleaching face, so dere was a day dat i send one of my frnd 2 call a girl 4 me, wen d girl came and my frnd pointed me to her dat i was d 1 calling her , wen she saw me she was shocked and said in a loud voice... Tufiakwa God 4bid, dat was wen i realised i should stop using d cream , so i stopped. But d big problem is dat my colour refused 2 go back to normal, instead it bcame more and more fairer, there was notin i culd do dan 2 live with it like dat, 3months past... Six months past... 9months gone... And finally it bcame 1year since i stopped applying d cream but still yet my skin was still fair but not as whitish as it is b4, dis tym it bcame reddish, so i started doing all sorts of research on google on how 2 bring my skin colour back to normal as it is b4 but up to no avail, so i saw a post on ask.com on how sum pple apply bleaching cream to deir skin to match their skin colour with d already light skin, and i said to my self dat dis is d solution to my problem, so i searched on google on list of bleaching creams and i decided to go 4 Bio - Claire , an dat eveling i went 2 a near by super market and bought d small cup of bio-claire, so i started applying it on my skin dat same eveling, after just only 3 - 4 days of applying all my skin colour changed 4rm dark to light, and i was very contented with it at first...

I guess you didn't read the part where it said that If this medicine "Betnovate C" is used on the face, wherever possible it should not be used for longer than five days but I guessed you used it for more than a month and now your looking whiter than your future. Sorry, but I don't think I can offer any help to you. My best advice is consult a professional dermatologist and stop worsening your problem with self medication. My #10 cents 3 Likes 1 Share |

Such an interesting skin story! The truth is that I laughed in some places ![]() ![]() So this is my advice for you. Your skin is naturally black because of melanocytes. These are the cells that colour your skin and make you the colour that you are. These are also the cells you 'kill' when you start bleaching. Using all those gamut of creams has caused severe damage to your melanocytes and has affected your self esteem so much that you cover your body to prevent others from seeing it. Tragically, this behaviour of yours worsened your situation without your knowing because the Sun( and not artificial fire or burning your hand) would have been your saving grace. The sun(any kind of sunlight but afternoon sun is better in this matter), is what will reactivate and multiply your damaged melanocytes. But because of the years you have stayed with this problem, it might take longer. This is what you will do. 1. Stop ALL creams immediately. Stop everything. 2. Stop googling. Googling things does not make you a specialist on something , it just gives you a little knowledge. No matter how much you google you cam never become a dermatologist. Take it from me. 3. Your soap for the next one year will be dudu osun only. Dudu osun works in that it will help rejuvenate your melanocytes and take you back to your normal colour(this is why ladies that bleach hate it so much ![]() 4. Your pomade/cream for the rest of your life will be Vaseline petroleum jelly only. This protects your skin from the hazards that bleaching would have exposed it to. It is also harmless to your body. Let me explain. The bleaching creams you have been using have not only affected your skin but have been absorbed by the skin and affected other organs as well especially your kidneys. Dont be afraid, the treatment for that is simply to stop the creams like you are going to do and take a good amount of water. Vaseline will put a stop to the damage as well as help your skin retain water again. 5. Finally the hard part. You need to expose your skin. Sunlight will reactivate your melanocytes and repair your skin. Covering it up with long sleeves is what has been delaying the darkening process. Unfortunately facial skin is more delicate than body skin so the face might take longer to heal but the rest of your body should return to normal in about 2years time. So you better work on getting your self esteem back. Realise that people only laugh for a moment then move on to other things. The more you expose your skin the quicker it will heal. And for those people who bleach their skin, this serves as a lesson for you. Boy or girl, don't do it. It usually ends badly on the long run. All the best op. 42 Likes 7 Shares |

Oga those tube creams can be deadly. It almost happened to me too. Where I usually buy my personal stuffs in yaba, the woman didn't have my soap so I went to another place in the same complex. Fortunately they had my soap there. So I asked the guy who attended to me if he had something I can use for a little rash on my face. He gave me this lemon looking tube cream. I think it's called virgin something. Cant really remember the name again. He said it will clear the rash and make my face sparkle. Innocent me went home and used it The third day I looked at the mirror I noticed that I wasn't as dark as I used to be. The rashes had dried up but there were still traces So I continued for one week. My face became spotless and flawless. That period I went to see old friends and visited my old neighbourhood. People were asking me if I travelled abroad just because I looked lighter. I had more admirers. All this within one week. That moment I understood why women bleach. ![]() ![]() What I noticed was that after some days that I used it, apart from looking lighter, the cream kon dey pepper me. Especially around my eyes. I was almost tempted to continue but there is no light person in my family. Where would I say I got my own from plus my dad will disown me. As someone wrote.... use just vaseline or shea butter (ori). Heard People use it too 4 Likes |

Sadbrother:There is nothing new under the sun, have you seen a burns patient before? As in someone that fire burnt from head to toe? You think they go round wearing long sleeves? You have to overcome your shyness if you want this condition to go away. There is no other way! Pm me if you want to contact me. As for my personal numbers though, I would rather it remains private. |

The Op's narrations really made me laugh so much. Op, the people above have said it all. Find shea butter to rub all over your body to rejuvenate and heal your skin. SMH. |
Re: Pls Hlp Me I Can't Take Off My Shirt Since 3 Yrs Because Of My Bleaching Skin by Lilyomi(f): 3:41am On Jan 03, 2015 |
Gradual exposure to the sun is your solution. Gradual because the melanin to protect u frm da harmful sun rays is gone. Sudden and continuous exposure can cause cancer. Do expose yourself in the early hours of the morning till around 11 o'clock. Use shea butter on your skin and a mild soap. There is no way you can be dark again without the sun. As your skin gets expoosed to it, it protects itself by producing the melanin. Hope it helps. It may keep long but that is the only way. 1 Like |

This was quite funny,,,sorry for your dilemma,, Try getting unmixed palm kernel oil - not palm oil - the dark colored strong smelling oil gotten from the inner kernel. Its really strong smelling but very good for replenishing damaged skin, asides from the very strong odour, you should be able to notice changes in about 2-3 months of consistent use. Best of luck! 1 Like |

Sadbrother:Funbat and nixoderm actually lightens the skin. They are some steroids in them. Also they clear up the skin to prevent rashes. Put them away quickly. Moreover it took u months to get fair. It will take even longer to go back. Is like growing big and trying to loose weight. Hope u get the patience. 1 Like 1 Share |
