Will Hydroquinone 4% Lighten a Flat Mole and Improve Its Appearance Cosmetically? (photo)

Stratoat
Please let us ignore the fact that hydroquinone may be carcinogenic and simply concentrate on whether it can benefit me cosmetically. I have asked derms if these moles can be removed and told that the resultant scar would be just as noticeable. I have had them lasered which lightened them, but it was crazy expensive. Will Hydroquinone help them blend with the surrounding skin better?
