That sounds sooo painful, even though I'm sure it wasn't or else you wouldn't have done it. 
A month after I started lightening, I bought an electronic skin scrubber because I read that it could help with exfoliating. I ended up only using it on scars and burn marks (on my wrist, face, and chest) that I got years before I started lightening. Its called Qukrot Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber. I think I'm going to try and see if it can even out these white dots that appeared on my forearms and stomach from using a number of creams throughout the past several months. I know the proven solution is to just stop using the creams but I'm going to try some other stuff before I do that.
