hydroquinone 4 cream - #14514
I am really confused about this whole situation with hydroquinone 4 cream. I've been dealing with this dark spot on my cheek for over a year now, and nothing seems to work. My dermatologist prescribed hydroquinone 4 cream a few weeks ago and initially, I was super hopeful! I mean, who wouldn’t want clearer skin, right? But then I started reading things online and honestly, I’m kinda worried. Is hydroquinone 4 cream safe? I've heard stuff about it being banned in certain places because it could cause skin issues. Plus, I have really sensitive skin and sometimes it gets red and irritated even using moisturizers. I’ve only used the hydroquinone 4 cream for about two weeks, and while the spot seems a tad lighter, my skin has also started peeling just a bit. Would that be normal? Am I overreacting? Should I be using hydroquinone 4 cream twice a day as instructed or is it too much? I just want to make sure I’m not making things worse. Has anyone else had this with hydroquinone 4 cream? Any advice or personal experiences would totally help! Thanks!
