A member asked:
Does hydroquinone reduce darkness due to jockitch? how much time does it take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perhaps, takes month: Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, or darkness after inflammation such as from jock itch (tinea infection) can take months to disappear. Hydroquinone might shorten that time, but can also cause irritation so isn't recommended.
