Fairness Creams: Experts Warn of Cancer Risk, Severe Skin Damage

• Over-the-counter fairness creams, often containing super potent steroids, cause severe skin damage.
• Dermatologist Debabrata Ghosh warns of 'Tropical Steroid Damage Face' from improper cream use.
• These creams thin skin, kill beneficial bacteria, and offer only temporary relief, leading to worse issues later.
• Long-term use can result in persistent rashes, acne, skin burning, dryness, and even skin cancer.
• Experts advise consulting a dermatologist for skin problems instead of self-medicating with unprescribed creams.
