Social media has made having a flawless skin a major beauty standard, leading many individuals to use medicated creams without proper medical advice.  
It’s very important to spread awareness regarding the side effects of using medicated creams without prescription. I have personally seen people using steroid creams just because they saw them on social media.  
People should understand that a proper diagnosis of the skin concern is far more beneficial than relying on social media content.

I completely agree with your views; the obsession with “Instant Fairness” is leading to a silent public health crisis. While many people chase a more elegant look, **they often fall victim to the unregulated advice of influencers,** ignoring the reality that medicated creams especially those with steroids can cause severe, long term skin damage.

Medicated cream should not be used for cosmetic purpose, few of the people will have good response to the medicated cream but some of them will have allergy to them and may leads to rashes, itching.
