Monobenzone use for non vitiligo?
There is no vitiligo but the person wants to lighten skin and depigmentation of darker skin permanently. Is it possible? It may be slightly extreme but the person wants lighter skin because they are going to a place compulsorily that discriminates a lot based on skin colour.

Permanent full-body depigmentation is not advisable or ethically recommended in individuals without vitiligo. Skin color is determined genetically, and while mild brightening is possible, complete depigmentation is unsafe and not medically approved.
Next Steps
A safe skincare regimen with sunscreen, gentle exfoliants, and brightening agents like niacinamide, vitamin C, or azelaic acid can improve tone and texture over time. Avoid unregulated treatments or glutathione injections without medical indication.
Health Tips
Please remember, your skin color is not a flaw—it’s your identity. Discrimination based on color is unfair, and altering your skin for acceptance isn’t a healthy solution. Seek confidence through self-care, not depigmentation.

Its harmful as such to wipe color off
There are chances of getting cancer swellings in future as your pigmentation acts like protective layer
Better to avoid such use
Monobenzone is given for vitiligo patients who have 90% involvement and who dont have option and have to choose this as hard choice for themselves
This is why its a big no for normal patient
