I have hyperpigmentation from when I was young due to kp that goes from my arms to all over my back and butt (bumps went away after I started using body lotion)
They look like freckles but messy, and they’re very deep due to how long i’ve had them and wont go away even with retinol body lotion and
I’ve been stressed my whole life due to it.
Recently found out hydroquinone helps, but I’ve heard that you should be careful about the dosage (I understand that you should stay on and off it for 3-5 months and use daily at night)
I cant find anyone using it basically almost all over their body so Im wondering if its safe to use in such large areas if spread out thinly or is there a specific amount that a body can tolerate?(i mixed about half to 2/3 of a fingernail worth and mixed it with my body lotion and spread it out from upper arms-back-butt) so im not sure of the dosage thing. Bcz If it was ok, I also wanted to use it on my cheek area (freckles).
Please let me know if it is ok to use it all over my back and arms, and if there IS a specific amount recommended, how much I should be using? Im so confused about the rules of hydroquinone please help me..
The hydroquinone im using is 2%.
Retinol for body is from versed
Retinol for face is 0.02%(not that high)
