Please do NOT limit our patient access to hydroquinone either over-the-counter or prescription form. They extremely necessary in the management of scarring, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, melasma, and other disorders. Patients find the variation in skin pigment personally unappealing. Some hide the area involved. These medications definitely help improve the appearance and allow patients to be more confident. Don't limit access or change the wording on the hydroquinone products available. Malinee Saxena MD - Board Certified Dermatologist.
