Hydroquinone - is complete skin bleach a solution to vitiligo patches?

No, Hydroquinone is not a suitable treatment for Vitiligo. Hydroquinone bleaches dark patches of skin. The skin affected by Vitiligo has lost its colour already.

YES hydroquinone can be used by those suffering from extensive vitiligo as a method to lighten the remaining patches of pigmented skin to create an even skin tone. Always follow the recomendation of a doctor.
