Hello,
Darkening of the skin is a side effect of this drug and you need to get it immediately examined from your doctor. Other side effects include mild redness or stinging,
itching
Causes of vaginal itching
Eye burning - itching and discharge
Itching
Jock itch
Muscle twitching
Vaginal itching
, burning, skin scaling, peeling and dry skin. Stop using this cream and consult your dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
