Is Ochronosis when treating with Hydroquinone rare ? (For Professionals)

  • Articles are available concerning (exogenous) ochronosis
  • It can be said here that:
  1. It is not as rare as we think
  2. This side effect of hydroquinone use is under-reported and under-diagnosed. Indeed a biopsy (often on the face) is needed to make the diagnosis.
