Cosmelan can be used by most with sun-sensitive skin. Your dermatologist or plastic surgeon will evaluate your skin type for this treatment and customize it if needed.
Yes, you can still use cosmelan but the most common complaints from patients are usually an itching sensation.

Cosmelan has an at home treatment which is not as strong as the MD preparation. The MD preparation which is placed only in a doctor's office has hydoquinone and Retin-A compounded into the preparation. The time left on is followed by guidelines from 5 or more hours depending on skin type. ...
I've never heard of apply Cosmelan to the kneecaps. It's is designed for the face. You don't have to peel from the Cosmelan to have a good result, but you need to make sure you are using the Cosmelan 2 and Vitamin K product. And using sunscreen. "This answer has been solicited without seeing...
