Hello,
Long-term animal studies to determine the carcinogenic potential of hydroquinone Cream have not been conducted. Studies of hydroquinone in animals have demonstrated some evidence of carcinogenicity. The carcinogenic potential of hydroquinone in humans is unknown.
Hydroquinone contains bleaching agents and may cause phototoxic eruptions or solar urticaria. So it is advisable to apply sun screens and avoid the sun during the peak hours when you are using this crea, You should consult your dermatologist before using this cream.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and regards.

Hello,
Chicken pox scars are very tough to treat. Apply hydroquinone cream or creams containing vitamin E on the scars. If it still persists then you can go in for laser treatment, photodermabrasion or microdermabrasion. Avoid picking, harsh scrubbing, and abrasive treatments unless prescribed by a dermatologist during this period.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
