Hydroquinone cream is primarily used as a depigmentation agent to lighten areas of skin that are darker than surrounding areas, such as those caused by melasma, freckles, sunspots, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It works by inhibiting melanin production, the pigment responsible for skin color.
Specific Uses:
- Melasma: A common skin condition causing dark patches on the face, often during pregnancy or with hormonal changes.
-
Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: Dark spots that remain after acne or other skin injuries heal.
-
Freckles: Small, flat spots caused by sun exposure.
-
Sunspots (Solar Lentigines): Larger, darker spots that appear with age and sun damage.
-
Other hyperpigmentation conditions:Hydroquinone may also be used for other skin conditions where dark patches are present.
