helpFrequently Asked Questions

What is Benoquin Cream used for?

expand_more

Benoquin Cream is used only for permanent depigmentation of the skin in patients with widespread vitiligo that covers more than half of the body. It is not a cosmetic skin lightener and should never be used for freckles, melasma, or tanning spots.

Can Benoquin Cream be used for cosmetic skin lightening?

expand_more

No. Benoquin Cream is a strong depigmenting medicine, not a mild cosmetic bleach. Using it for skin lightening in people without vitiligo can cause permanent, uneven loss of skin color.

Who should not use Benoquin Cream?

expand_more

Individuals should not use Benoquin Cream if they are allergic to monobenzone or any of its ingredients, or if they want it only for cosmetic lightening. It is strictly for patients with extensive vitiligo.

Can Benoquin Cream cause permanent skin changes?

expand_more

Yes. Benoquin Cream often causes irreversible depigmentation. Once the pigment is lost, your skin may remain permanently white and extra sensitive to sunlight.

What serious side effects should I watch for while using Benoquin Cream?

expand_more

You should stop using Benoquin Cream and call your doctor if you develop severe irritation, burning, rashes, or eczema-like skin reactions. In some cases, areas far away from where the medicine was applied may also lose pigment permanently.
