I'm a brown-skinned girl and my dermatologist suggested I use KOJIGLO FORTE CREAM for the pigmentation around my mouth. I noticed it has 2% Hydroquinone, and I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe. Could it possibly make my pigmentation worse or darker? Can you help me understand if it's okay to use this cream?

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.
