Dermoquin Cream 2%

Introduction
Dermoquin Cream 2% is a topical medicine used to lighten dark patches on the skin. In Pakistan, it is often prescribed for pigmentation problems that affect confidence and daily life. The cream works by reducing excess melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots.

Composition
Each tube of Dermoquin contains Hydroquinone 2% as the active ingredient. Hydroquinone is a skin-lightening agent that slows down pigment formation in the skin.

Medical Use
Doctors in Pakistan commonly prescribe Dermoquin for:

• Melasma (dark patches, especially on the face)

• Post-acne pigmentation

• Freckles or sun-induced dark spots

• Uneven skin tone due to hyperpigmentation

How to Apply
Dermoquin is applied directly to the affected skin area. The amount and frequency depend on the patient’s skin condition and doctor’s advice. It should only be used on dark patches, not on normal skin. Sun protection is usually recommended during treatment.

Precautions

• Use only under a doctor’s supervision.

• Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and open wounds.

• Do not apply on large areas or for long durations without medical advice.

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before use.

• Store at room temperature, away from children and direct sunlight.

Side Effects
Some people may experience mild irritation, burning, or redness where the cream is applied. Long-term or excessive use can sometimes cause skin thinning or, rarely, darkening of the skin (ochronosis). Severe reactions are uncommon but should be reported to a doctor.

Doctor’s Review
Dr. Nadia Khan – Consultant Dermatologist
“I prescribe hydroquinone 2% for patients struggling with stubborn pigmentation, especially melasma and post-acne marks. It gives good results when used carefully, but I always stress that it must be combined with sun protection. Misuse or overuse can harm the skin, so I make sure patients follow a limited course and apply it only on the affected patches.”
