Im a brown-skinned girl, and my dermatologist recommended KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM for pigmentation around my mouth. I noticed it contains 2% hydroquinone, and Im worried it could make my pigmentation darker or be harmful. Is it safe to use?

KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM contains 2% HYDROQUINONE which is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. It is generally safe to use for treating pigmentation issues when used as directed by a healthcare professional. However, prolonged and excessive use of hydroquinone can lead to side effects such as skin darkening, redness, or irritation. To ensure safe use of KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM, it is important to follow your dermatologist's instructions regarding the frequency and duration of application. It is also recommended to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from further pigmentation. If you experience any severe side effects or worsening of pigmentation, please consult your dermatologist for further guidance.
