Description of Eldoquin Cream

Eldoquin Cream or generic Hydroquinone is prescribed for treating dark skin patches and restoring an even skin tone. Pregnancy, hormone treatments or taking birth control pills, and exposure to sunlight can lead to darkened skin patches on your face, hands, and bald scalps. These patches of brown discoloration are most likely melasma, a common skin problem that mainly affects women but men can also get these spots. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

Explanation of How Eldoquin Cream Works

Hydroquinone is a popular bleaching agent people apply to the affected areas to even out their skin tone. These brown or grayish-brown patches are a result of an over-production of a natural substance in your body called melanin. When Eldoquin Cream is applied as directed to the dark areas, Hydroquinone, the active ingredient, is absorbed into your skin cells and interferes with the production of melanin and increases the breakdown of the melanin pigment granules. It does this by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme called tyrosinase that is responsible for making melanin.

Skin Conditions That Benefit from Eldoquin Cream

Melasma is not harmful or contagious, but having an uneven skin tone is not appealing for women and some men. Many people reaching their 50’s or 60’s develop brown spots, mostly on the face, neck, and back of their hands, and refer to them as old age spots or liver spots. Neither age nor your liver has anything to do with the discolored spots on your skin. It has more to do with the long-term exposure to the sun and wind you’ve endured over the past several decades.

Before Applying Eldoquin Cream

Tell the doctor if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or are breast feeding to be certain there are no risks to your unborn or nursing baby. Your doctor should know about other medical conditions and allergies you have as well as any OTC or Rx drugs you currently take or use, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements. This will help your doctor determine if it is safe for you to buy Eldoquin Cream .

Important to Note

If you are pregnant and are bothered by the dark vertical line that has developed over your baby bump, it will usually fade shortly after the birth when your hormones have settled down. You should NOT use any skin lighteners as it may be harmful to your unborn baby. Keep Eldoquin Cream out of children’s reach and do not share with others. If you wear make-up, apply Eldoquin Cream first and allow it to absorb in before applying other products. There is also an increased skin sensitivity to sunlight's UV rays where brand or generic Eldoquin Cream is applied so wear appropriate clothing to avoid direct exposure.
