How should I use Nuquin HP (hydroquinone topical)?
Use this medication exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Hydroquinone topical is for external use only. Wash your hands before and after applying this medication, unless you are treating a skin area on your hand. Apply the medication to clean, dry skin. Apply just enough medication to cover the affected area. Avoid applying to the unaffected surrounding skin. Rub in the medication gently and completely. Avoid getting this medication on your lips or inside your nose or mouth. Hydroquinone may cause numbness of these areas. If the medication does get on any of these areas, rinse with water. It is important to use hydroquinone topical regularly to get the most benefit. Store hydroquinone topical at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
