A member asked:
Bleaching skin (to white) permanently? i don't have vitiligo, i'm tan, but since hq results fade i want to use monobenzone, is it really that risky?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I think carefully: I would think carefully before I use that medication since the results are permanent. I would even recommend seeing a psychologist or a psychiatrist before making such a drastic change.
