Vitiligo Skin Bleaching

The only aim to deal with Vitiligo or depigmentation for anyone suffering from this skin disorder is nothing but to achieve unification in skin color virtually all over the pigmented areas of the body. It is also the prime goal of those who have failed PUVA, who reject PUVA option or those who can’t use PUVA. There is an irreversible, permanent process for all such patients which is bleaching with monobenzylether of hydroquinone cream, just like Benoquin 20% cream.
You cannot use Benoquin on certain areas of normal pigmentation selectively only because the application of this bleaching cream is generally associated to distant depigmentation and there is a little chance of developing distant and new white patches on the sufferer’s skin over the use of months. Well, generally a Vitiligo patient may attract side effects of bleaching with Benoquin if applied twice daily. You should contact dermatitis in this situation. But the fact is that this process has over 93% success rate.



Well, an occasional Vitiligo patient may observe focal repigmentation only if he/she periodically follows sun exposure and a further application of bleaching with Benoquin will be required to go back to the original condition before sun exposure. You will get the same chalk-white color of your skin in the end of the process of bleaching with Benoquin. Well, the finality and uniformity of the end-result color is satisfied to many customers.
It is recommended to apply 30 to 60 mg beta-carotene by an occasional Vitiligo patient to impart on off-white (pigmented) skin color to the original skin color. The risk of diarrhea is the only side effect this method has exposed so far. It is said that the patients who select bleaching with Benoquin are always at risk (during process) for sunburn. Therefore midday sun exposure is strictly prohibited for all such patients and they are advised to use high-SPF sunscreen if sun exposure is necessary.
The usage of monobenzylether of hydroquinone has not reported any side effect so far especially if we discuss about the long-term side effects.
