A member asked:
Any suggestions for fade creams to lighten my butt area..do the lightening lotions have long term effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Most fade creams have hydroquinone, which if used for long periods of time can lead to bluing of the skin, esp in dark skinned pts. If you have spots anywhere on your skin that you'd like to fade, talk to your doc about a short course of hydroquinone and even topical retinoids, which fade skin by peeling. Always use spf.
