A member asked:

For my pigmentation i used a 2% hydroquinone fade cream which has worked. will there be any long term side effects or is this safe to continue use?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hydroquinone: No serious side effects have been reported for this topical medication. Side effects when using the medication include: dryness, redness, fissuring, burning, irritation and a contact dermatitis. I rarely see side effects with this medication.
