A member asked:

Can you tell me what to do if i want to be whiter and do whitening soaps cause skin cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Avoid sun : Other than avoiding sunlight there is probably nothing you should be doing. Consult with a dermatologist to learn about safety data of lightening products before you use them.
