I had lower lid blepharoplasty 9 weeks ago. I have hyperpigmentation as a result

Asked By:Farah07 in Toronto, ON

Looks like bad dark circles. My doctor has recommended i use a cream that has been compounded at a pharmacy containing: Desonide, 7% Hydroquinone, 0.1% Retnoic. To be used twice a week only / thin film at night. I wanted to check what you thought of that? I generally have sensitive skin. I have north Indian background and have a medium complexion. I am concerned about any side effects and am wondering if I should just let it be & use nothing and hope that the pigmentation goes in time.
