A member asked:
I have dark knee and i want to peel it at home ..i am using hydroquinon for months and no result i always put a moisturizing cream and do scrub weekl?

See a dermatologist: Scrubbing and any other irritation will make it worse. Always use something very soft if you must kneel, and attempt to shift weight more on the other knee. Prolonged use of hydroquinone, especially as a single agent, may cause INCREASED pigmentation.
