Hydroxyquinone: Hydroquinone 2–4% as cream or lotion, applied accurately to pigmented areas at night for 2–4 months. This may cause contact dermatitis (stinging and redness) in 25% of patients. Azelaic acid cream, lotion or gel can be applied twice daily long term, and is safe in pregnancy. This may also sting
