Asked By:simplykiki in New York, New York

Hello I’m a POC and struggled with different shades throughout my whole body, I started using a brightening cream that was marketed towards evening skin tone but instead now I have white spots on my arms. It looks like the cream bleached my hair follicles and now it’s all spotty. Can this be fixed, do I need to see a dermatologist??
