What is Albaquin 20% Cream used for? ::: Albaquin 20% Cream is used only for permanent depigmentation of the skin in patients with widespread vitiligo that covers more than half of the body. It is not a cosmetic skin lightener and should never be used for freckles, melasma, or tanning spots.| Can Albaquin 20% Cream be used for cosmetic skin lightening? ::: No. Albaquin 20% Cream is a strong depigmenting medicine, not a mild cosmetic bleach. Using it for skin lightening in people without vitiligo can cause permanent, uneven loss of skin color.| Who should not use Albaquin 20% Cream? ::: Individuals should not use Albaquin 20% Cream if they are allergic to monobenzone or any of its ingredients, or if they want it only for cosmetic lightening. It is strictly for patients with extensive vitiligo.| Can Albaquin 20% Cream cause permanent skin changes? ::: Yes. Albaquin 20% Cream often causes irreversible depigmentation. Once the pigment is lost, your skin may remain permanently white and extra sensitive to sunlight.| What serious side effects should I watch for while using Albaquin 20% Cream? ::: You should stop using Albaquin 20% Cream and call your doctor if you develop severe irritation, burning, rashes, or eczema-like skin reactions. In some cases, areas far away from where the medicine was applied may also lose pigment permanently.| Does Albaquin 20% Cream increase sun sensitivity? ::: Yes. Once your skin is depigmented with Albaquin 20% Cream, it will remain highly sensitive to sunlight for the rest of your life. You must use sunscreen regularly and protect your skin whenever you are outdoors.| Can Albaquin 20% Cream affect children? ::: The safety of Albaquin 20% Cream has not been established in children under 12 years, so it should not be used in younger patients.| Can Albaquin 20% Cream spread its effects to areas where I do not apply it? ::: Yes. Even areas of normal skin far from the Albaquin 20% Cream application site may become depigmented. The loss of color may be irregular, excessive, unsightly, and it is often permanent.| How long does it take for Albaquin 20% Cream to work? ::: The exact time Albaquin 20% Cream takes to work is not known. However, depigmentation usually occurs within one to four months of treatment. If there is no improvement after four months, your doctor may stop the treatment.

Albaquin 20% Cream is a depigmenting agent. It works by increasing the elimination of melanin (skin darkening pigment) from skin cells. This helps lighten the skin in vitiligo.
