Thank you for your question. Discontinue the use of the product and follow up with your dermatologist. You will need to avoid any harsh products until the reaction has subsided. Your dermatologist should be able to prescribe you with something to help heal the area. Best wishes,Pablo Prichard MD

Unfortunately without any pictures to go by, I can't say for sure if it burned your skin or caused the reaction the hydroquinone and tretinoin is supposed to. In any case if you discontinue use of this product and follow up with a dermatologist they may be able recommend a lesser strength of hydroquinone to help lighten the skin area.Thank you for your question!Kate Ross, MD
