Is using benoquin (monobenzone) cream good to use on discoloured skin from the sun? to even out the skin

Not a good idea: This cream will take all of the color out of your skin. Your skin will be white forever.

Hyperpigmentation: Benoqin treatment of dark skin is permanent. If you over do the benoqiin you will not be able to add back pigment. Use hydroquinone instead.
