Id there any alternative!?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Long-term use of Hydroquinone cream is known to be dangerous to get pre-cancerous condition and skin malignancies as well.
As per my clinical knowledge, I recommend to stop its further use and replace with turmeric paste or aloe vera, which can be used for a lifetime without any side effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Purva Patel
