The ridicule started at age 6.

Classmates would bully Fatima Lodhi, taunting her and other darker students with derogatory names.

It got worse as she got older. In high school, she was nominated for the "Makeover Required" category in her high school in Islamabad, Pakistan. And in graduate school, fellow students would yell "let's paint her white" whenever she crossed their paths.

Routine skin whitener use...40% in China, Malaysia, the Philippines and South Korea, according to the World Health Organization.

But when it comes to these products, the Asia-Pacific market is the most lucrative region, making up more than half of the global market -- an estimated $7.5 billion out of $13.3 billion

[Shuting] Hu...grew up under pressure to be fairer.

"When I was very young, my parents, my friends and the superstars on TV all deliver a message that a whiter skin tone is pretty. So in this culture, you will be influenced and be one of them," she said. "Personally I don't want to be whiter, just keep healthy skin. Only after suntan, I want to be whiter, back to my original skin tone."

Seventeen percent of those surveyed in the recent study in India reported adverse side effects from whiteners, yet only 3.1% sought help from a health professional.

"It is impossible to make one's own skin color lighter than one is born with," said Dr. Soyun Cho, professor of dermatology at the Seoul National University College of Medicine.

Cho explains that because Asian skin has more melanin than Caucasian skin, inflammation can lead to postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, or discoloration, which usually goes away within a few months but can last indefinitely.

This year, the Japanese cosmetic company Kanebo paid damages to an additional 44 women, after reaching settlements with more than 18,000 women who developed blotches after using the company's whiteners. Nearly 20,000 customers reported white patches, or chemical leukoderma -- depigmentation -- after using products that contained the whitening chemical Rhododenol.

The World Health Organization says that 61% of skin products in India are aimed at lightening

Shroff's study cites a range of side effects, depending on the whiteners' ingredients. Products that contain hydroquinone, steroids or mercury can cause "irritation, inflammation, thinning of skin, scarring, abnormalities among newborn babies if used during pregnancy and breast-feeding, and kidney, liver or nerve damage."

Mercury in skin-lightening products can also cause reduced resistance to bacterial and fungal infections, liver damage, anxiety, depression or psychosis, according to the World Health Organization

But Hu believes that there is a safe way to whiten
