Dark spots

I have been using Hydroquinone 1.4 % to lighten flat moles and acne scar on my face. Is it safe? Should I apply it all over face or just on the spots?

hydroquinone won't work work on moles... don't apply on whole face.. First and foremost the diagnosis of mole has to be confirmed, sometimes patient confuse lesions of wart(verruca plane/vulgaris) with moles. Also they could be lentigenes or freckles or acrochordon or Dermatosis papulosa nigra, etc. The choice of procedure for removal of mole depends upon the size of mole... the site of where on the body mole is present... and also what type of mole it is. Please get it properly assessed by a qualified certified dermatologist to know the best procedure that would suit you. Hope this is helpful.
