hydroquinone skin bleaching cream - #14355

Anvi

I am really struggling with my skin right now. A few months ago I started using a hydroquinone skin bleaching cream because I have these stubborn dark spots from acne scars. At first, I thought it was working, like, they were fading a bit, but now I feel like my skin has gotten super sensitive and kinda irritated. I read online that hydroquinone can cause issues if used too long, and honestly, I didn’t realize how strong it was. I’m scared I might be doing more harm than good. My doctor suggested I use it for 3 months, but I was hoping to see more results by now! Should I stop using the hydroquinone skin bleaching cream altogether? Or is there a better way to approach this? I also heard about some potential side effects like redness or even more pigmentation, which makes me worry that I'm making my skin worse instead! Has anyone else experienced irritation with hydroquinone skin bleaching cream? How did you handle it? I just thought it would help, but now I’m not sure what to do. Any advice would be great!
