Sun exposure in mild chemical leucoderma

After using hydroquinone 2% cream for 1 month in last period hyperpigmentation improved mostly everywhere on back ,when I noticed white patches coming up , my dermo has asked me to take sun exposure 15min apart from other prescribed  lotion, if some other doc approve this, it will satisfy my confusion.
