Frequently asked questions FOR Hypig 4% w/w Cream

Hydroquinone

Q. Is Hypig Cream safe to use on face?
Hypig Cream should be used exactly as directed by your doctor. You should apply it away from the eyes, nose, corners of the mouth, or open wounds because these areas are more prone to irritation. If local irritation persists or becomes severe, discontinue Hypig Cream and consult your doctor. Excessive use of the medication may cause redness, peeling, or discomfort.
Q. Does Hypig Cream permanently lighten skin?
No, it does not lighten the skin permanently. If melasma occurs on discontinuing Hypig Cream, talk to your doctor regarding the maintenance treatment of melasma.
Q. What should I avoid when using Hypig Cream cream?
You should avoid exposure to sunlight, use sunscreen, and wear protective clothing after treatment with Hypig Cream cream. Even a small amount of sunlight can worsen melasma. Females should avoid the use of birth control methods that contain hormones such as oral birth control pills as these methods can worsen your melasma. Talk to your doctor about other birth control options. Be careful as hot and cold weather may irritate the skin treated with Hypig Cream.

Q. Can I apply moisturizer over Hypig Cream?
Hypig Cream is applied generally at bedtime. You may use moisturizers and cosmetics during the day when you are not using Hypig Cream.
Q. Is Hypig Cream bad for the skin?
Hypig Cream may cause blue-black darkening of the skin. If this occurs, you should immediately stop Hypig Cream and consult your doctor.

But this is usually tolerable and may disappear with time.
