Hello, 9 months ago I had a full day of unprotected sun exposure while on Tretinoin 0.05%. I'm afraid I became permanently hyperpigmented since the dark areas haven't got any lighter in all this time. I've been to my dermatologist and was told that it would go away on its own but it has not! I don't feel safe using hydroquinone. I'm Hispanic, skin type 3. I'm so depressed and constantly in tears over it. What form of treatment should I seek now? Thanks Amy in Florida
