Hi my name is Antony. I am 33-year-old guy with fair complexion. I have dark patch on my right cheek due to application of hair dye and also few blemishes due to rashes. I applied hydroquinone 2% for 1.5 months but I did not see any significant change. I consulted dermatologist who suggested me to go for chemical peeling and carbon laser. I underwent 5 sessions of chemical peeling and 5 session of carbon laser but I did not see any positive result. It made things worse. I got marks all over my face now. Here is the regime I followed as per the dermatologist.

1. Melalite forte hydroquinone 4% + steroid cream (1st day, before bed)
2. Demelan cream (2nd day, before bed)
3. Every 15 days chemical peeling or carbon laser.

After 20 days of usage, my face completely became black, especially on the places where I applied those cream. I suspected this was because of hydroquinone 4% as I had a very sensitive and dry skin. Then, I stopped using melalite forte (hydroquinone 4%) cream.

I tried collagen + vitamin C tablets but I got rashes all over my body and face. Those rashes then became pimples. I stopped using collagen also.

Then I went for Vitamin C serum but no joy. I again got break out.

Now for the past 1 month I am on IV Glutathione + vitamin c + papaya soap.

I want to know whether I can use hydroquinone 1% or 2% cream in order to get rid of all those blemishe and hyperpigmention.
