What is Benoquin Cream (Monobenzone) used for?

Benoquin Cream (Monobenzone) is a topical medication prescribed to treat patients suffering from vitiligo. It operates by lightening the areas of skin the cream is applied to in order to even out its color. Note that this medication is only meant for vitiligo and should not be used to treat freckles, blemishes, cosmetic whitening, or jaundice.

How should I use Benoquin Cream (Monobenzone)?

Benoquin Cream (Monobenzone) should be used strictly according to the instructions provided by your physician to get the most effective results from treatment. It is normally administered to the area surrounding the discolored patches two to three times each day, but your individual instructions will depend on the severity of your condition. Rinse the skin before use to remove loose skin, apply a small amount of cream, gently massage it into the skin, and allow any excess cream to evaporate. Wash your hands with soap and water after each application to prevent the cream from contacting any areas not being treated or the mucous membranes as this can cause serious health problems.
