Monobenzone 40% Cream
SKU GME332Product Introduction
Monobenzone 40% is a topical depigmenting medicine used only for permanent depigmentation in selected patients with extensive vitiligo under dermatologist supervision. It is not a cosmetic skin-lightening cream and should not be used on normal skin for beauty lightening, tanning correction, freckles, melasma, acne marks, or uneven skin tone. Monobenzone destroys melanocytes in treated areas and can also cause depigmentation at sites away from where it is applied, so the color change may be permanent and difficult to control. It is generally considered when vitiligo is widespread and repigmentation treatment is unlikely to give acceptable results. Treatment often takes months and requires strict sun protection because depigmented skin burns easily. Treated skin can transfer medicine to another person's skin through contact shortly after application, so contact precautions may be needed.
How to use
Apply Monobenzone 40% only to areas and frequency prescribed by a dermatologist. Avoid eyes, lips, mucous membranes, broken skin, and skin-to-skin transfer after application. Use strict sun protection.
How it works
Monobenzone causes permanent loss of pigment by damaging melanocytes, helping depigment normally pigmented skin around widespread vitiligo patches.
Common side effects
Possible effects include burning, itching, redness, dryness, peeling, swelling, contact dermatitis, and patchy or excessive depigmentation. Serious concerns include severe allergic reaction, blistering irritation, infection, eye exposure, and permanent unwanted depigmentation.
Important information
Review vitiligo extent, treatment goals, pregnancy, breastfeeding, sensitive skin, eczema, active rash, broken skin, sun exposure, eye exposure risk, cosmetic-lightening intent, and ability to follow contact precautions.
Uses
Permanent depigmentation of remaining normally pigmented skin in selected extensive vitiligo cases under dermatology guidance.
Benefits
May create a more even skin tone in carefully selected patients with widespread vitiligo when repigmentation treatment has not helped enough or unsuccessful.
What is Monobenzone 40% used for?
Monobenzone 40% is used for permanent depigmentation in selected extensive vitiligo cases under specialist care.
Is it a cosmetic whitening cream?
No. It can permanently remove pigment and should not be used for cosmetic skin lightening.
Can pigment loss spread beyond the application area?
Yes. Depigmentation can occur at distant sites and may be permanent.
Why is sun protection important?
Depigmented skin has less natural protection and can burn easily.
How long can depigmentation take?
Monobenzone 40% w/w may take months and sometimes longer, depending on skin area, response, and treatment plan.
Can Monobenzone 40% w/w transfer to another person?
Skin contact soon after application may transfer medicine, so follow the dermatologist's contact precautions.
