How can a girl deal with the physical and psychological changes that occurred to her after using a skin-lightening cream, and how can she restore her original appearance and accept herself, especially after she began to commit to her religion and realized the sinfulness of changing creation?

It is recommended to be patient in times of tribulation and to seek reward from Allah, for any harm that befalls a Muslim, Allah expiates some of their sins thereby. One should not despair of Allah's mercy, for He accepts the repentance of His sinful servants and transforms their evil deeds into good ones, especially if the use of the cream was out of ignorance and not with the intention of altering Allah's creation. One must continue to draw closer to Allah through obligatory acts of worship and supererogatory ones, and by seeking knowledge. Tribulation can be a good thing, leading the believer back to Allah. For treatment, one should seek appropriate physical medications, and adhere to the prescribed religious remedies such as supplication (du'a), seeking forgiveness (istighfar), and ruqyah shar'iyyah (Islamic incantation). Caution must be exercised regarding the use of cosmetic products containing harmful chemical substances.
