A member asked:
What % of hydroquinone cream is safe enough to use on my dark armpits caused from shaving ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: Given that the skin of the armpits is so sensitive any hydroquinone make your take them. There are other creams that can be used to lighten the skin so i would see your dermatologist and try one of them.
