The earlier you use the hydroquinone, the more effective it will work. Hydroquinone will interfere with the production of pigment and may prevent the scar area from darkening. You might combine it with a weak steroid and a retinoid to give it a stronger effect. Best if luck.
Hydroquinone for leg burn scar?
My leg was burnt 2 months ago. Can I use hydroquinone now, or shall I wait 6 months and then apply it? A friend of mine told me to wait 6 months but I dont see why I should wait that long.
