is it normal that it became like this? its very itchy, very red and shiny at the same time after it started to peeled off. due to itchiness i tried to remove the peeled skin , considering that it says on the instructions not to peel it off, but i just cant help it coz its too itchy. would it lead to hyper pigmentation or it will even be lighter? i put some bethametasone lotion during the itchiness attack. as off now im applying a whitening cream. will it help to lighten the areas?
