Does Funbact A Bleach or lighten The Skin?
Yes, Funbact A can cause skin bleaching or lightening because it contains Betamethasone, a corticosteroid used by doctors to treat skin conditions. Using skin‐lightening compounds for a cosmetic purpose that are normally restricted to medical use or forbidden has become a world‐wide practice. According to a study published in an Indian Journal of Dermatology, misuse of topical corticosteroids like Funbact A has a huge impact on dermatological practice, leading to a significant proportion of visits to the dermatologist due to unwanted side effects.
In addition, anyone who has a history of allergic reactions to betamethasone or any ingredient in Funbact A should completely avoid the cream because if such a person uses it on their skin, they may experience hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression and adrenal insufficiency.
The HPA axis produces steroids that control and regulate many body functions. When people use corticosteroids, the body may stop producing steroids. As a result, the adrenal glands may shrink and stop working properly. Although HPA suppression is rare, it is more common if a person:
- uses a high potency corticosteroid
- applies the product to a large area of the skin
- uses the product for a prolonged period
When people use betamethasone appropriately, they will rarely experience this serious side effect.
Young children are more susceptible to HPA axis suppression because of their larger skin surface to body weight ratio.
