Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I can understand your concern but you should not use topical iodine on your own. It has potential side effects like Blistering, crusting, irritation, itching, or reddening of skin.

For darkening fair skin, sun exposure is the best. Sun exposure can increase melanin production. Make sure to wear sunscreen for protection against harmful UVA and UVB. However, one must remember that too much sun exposure can cause sun spots on the face, premature wrinkles, and even skin cancer.
Hope that this information helps and hope that you will get better soon.

Wishing you good health.
