A member asked:
Is there a cure for exogenous ochronosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sadly no: This is skin damage from excessive use of skin lighteners with hydroquinone. I have only read about this, but the polymer that builds up is inert and very persistent. Some people are using lasers to help. Good luck.
