I used 2% hydroquinone (the lightening cream) on a mark next to my lip overnight. The next day it was very red and irritated so I immediately stopped and started putting moisturizer on it. Within a few days the redness faded away and it left a brown mark.

Did I damage the epidermis or dermis from this? I read somewhere that if you damage the dermis, the mark looks more grey. I think it looks more brown. I have had hyperpigmentation before and get it very easily, but rarely do my marks turn brown so quickly--they usually stay red for a while.
