Yes, but be careful: Two things to keep in mind with whitening agents is that they are potent, and can whiten areas you didn't want whitened.So you have to apply sparingly with gloves, and just go to border of this area, and make sure to keep sun off of it while on hydroquinone.Also, check ewg.Org skin deep to see what's in the formulation too.You may want to reconsider, and see if time will help fade the discoloratn.
