A member asked:
I want to bleach my skin permanently with either mequinol or monobenzone. are there risks of streaks/patches or getting vitiligo if i use monobenzone?

Careful: Unless you have severe vitiligo, you may regret using this. It may take a year. Resulting skin color is likely to be irregular. You must avoid the sun, difficult in colombia unless you are a vampire.
