Hi Azura,
The soap brand you mentioned is already registered with BPOM. Therefore, its safety has been checked by the relevant expert officers so that it is allowed to circulate and be used by the public. Until now there is also no official data or research that causes these brands to cause fibroids and cysts. Myoma is a benign tumor originating from uterine muscle cells, while ovarian cyst is a lump filled with fluid. Both have nothing to do with the soap used.
The brand you mention claims to contain kojic acid whose effect is to lighten the skin. Even so, not everyone is 100% compatible with cosmetics that contain kojic acid. There is the possibility of allergies or irritation, with symptoms of itching, skin feeling hot, swollen and painful. If you experience these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
If you have skin problems, you should consult a doctor to get treatment that suits your skin type.
