Consultant Physician and Dermatologist at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos, Dr Olufolakemi Cole-Adeife, speaks with LARA ADEJORO on how skin bleaching has become a public health issue in Nigeria and its adverse effects on the skin and body

Yes, on some occasions, patients presenting to the hospital with kidney damage or failure have a significant history of prolonged use of skin-lightening agents.

They also appear to contain very high concentrations of these agents due to the rapid onset of adverse effects associated with using some of these creams. Furthermore, some unprocessed or natural ingredients can irritate the skin, and the fact that something is natural does not mean it is safe to apply to the skin.

In addition, a general recommendation is that soaps, creams, or skin care products with these phrases or words as part of the name—”white, whitening, light, tone, fair, glow, bright,” “half-caste, mulatto,” or anything to connote lightening of the skin—may have bleaching agents and should be avoided or used with caution.Good skin can be achieved through a healthy diet and lifestyle and by using good skin products in moderation.
