Abstract
[...]skin whitening products are a half a billion dollar industry today capitalizing on the insecurity of these individuals and currently, skin lightening is one of the most common forms of potentially harmful body modification practices in the world. [26],[27] As a general rule, the promoters of the systemic skin whitening agents list lactation, heart disease and hypersensitivity as contraindications for all these agents. Since there are not much human or animal studies advocating the role of these agents in skin whitening, there is no data on the relative and absolute contraindications, the appropriate dosing schedule and the long term side effects.
