My mom's doctor prescribed Hydroquinone USP 4% skin bleaching cream for her Rosacea.
The brand name is Perrigo, and it is prescription only cream.
I am 38 year old Brown skinned male (East Indian) and have hyperpigmentation on some areas of my face. My Hyperpigmentation problems arose about 11 years after a somewhat botched Doctor/Aesthetician procedure.
I have been using my Mom's cream on my Hyperpigmented areas for a week now , and the direction on the box say to apply twice daily for 2 months.
Does anyone if this Rosacea cream will help with my Hyperpigmentation problem? Is 4% too mild or too strong or about average?
Thanks
Oh and am I in the right forum to ask this because I notice there is a sub-forum for Rosacea?
If your hyperpigmentation is brown colored, which means its composed of melanin, hydroquinone can fade those marks. 4% is the strongest you can use without harming your skin or bleaching it. Just make sure you use sunscreen daily or any skin lightening product would be useless.
