A member asked:
Is hydroquinone really dangerous so it was banned ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only OTC: Only over-the-counter preparations of hydroquinone were banned. This was due to concerns about it being a potential carcinogen. As far as i'm aware it is still available by prescription in the us.
