A member asked:
Used hydroquinone 4% one day only on dark spot caused by bleaching, surrounding areas turned darker instead, will this darkness fadeout on its own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hyperpigmentation: Likely it will fade out with time. By now you know that hydroquinone should not be used again. See a dermatologist if it does not get better in few weeks.
