Hydroquinone topical
I have used a hydroquinone topical (2%) for approx. 3 weeks to treat a spot on my nose. After 3 weeks the spot almost fades away but side area of nose are irritating and it has been 5 days since i quit the use of HQ topical, the spot comes back with more drastic pigmentation as the whole nose and area around it id now turning darker...
What is it??? Hope it is not exogenous onchronosis (EO).
