A healthy body can be reflected through a healthy and glowing skin. Unfortunately, human skin is prone to many skin disorders that give their victims a lot of physical and mental traumas. Skin depigmentation or skin discoloration is one such skin problem that has left 2 to 4 million Americans searching for effective treatment. Medically known as Vitiligo, this particular skin disease is characterized by white patches on the skin at different body parts. The chief cause behind the happening of Vitiligo is the loss of melanin or pigment that renders the skin its distinctive color due to dysfunction of pigment-forming cells called melanocytes. People from any sex or race are equally vulnerable to Vitiligo. However, dark-skinned people have the highest probability of suffering from Vitiligo.

 

Since long, masses have been obsessed with the repigmentation treatment of skin that has been discolored by Vitiligo. A wide array of methods has been tried, but in vain. It is mostly due to the far-reaching damage of the skin made by depigmentation. There are patients who have more than 50 percent of their body area affected by this skin disorder. In such cases, physicians prescribe total depigmentation therapy that discolors the normal pigmented skin to match the skin tone of the depigmented area. Benoquin (Monobenzone) is an effective topical treatment for whitening of the skin. It permanently lightens the areas surrounding the white patches by reducing melanin levels there. Due to the potent of Monobenzone, this medication should be used for Vitiligo only. Other skin problems like age spots or freckles should be treated with separate medicines.

 

Monobenzone under the brand name Benoquin is the most sought-after medication worldwide. Most normal people with dark skin may get lured by its whitening effect and use it to turn their skin into white. But, this kind of practice could prove to be fatal and users may finish up with white blotches throughout their body. It works well only on those people who have Vitiligo.

 

Benoquin cream contains 20% of Monobenzone which is the active ingredient in this medication. Each gram of this cream has 200 mg of Monobenzone USP in a water-washable base comprising sodium lauryl sulfate NF, purified water USP, propylene glycol USP, cetyl alcohol NF, and white wax NF.

 

Consultation with your doctor is a must before using Monobenzone cream. Generally, the area around the white patches would be dark. So, apply a thin layer of Benoquin to that area uniformly. Regular application of the drug for 3-4 months would result in lightening of the skin and match the color of the Vitiligo affected areas. You should follow your doctor’s guidelines carefully during the treatment. Use the cream 2 to 3 times a day to experience a charismatic effect on your skin.

 

However, one prominent side effect of Benoquin (Monobenzone) is the sensitivity of skin to sunlight and artificial UV rays. So, make use of a high-quality sunscreen lotion or protective clothing for your body to be out in the sun. You’ll definitely get a glowing skin using Benoquin therapy.
