    Toxicity of skin whitening products
    Hi all :-)

    I've known this site through Google search tool while searching for information about toxicity of skin whitening products, which is the title of a research that I'm supposed to do for the toxicology department in my faculty ( faculty pharmacy )...

    I've read about a certain product called benoquin cream ( containing monobenzone ) ,I've read its pamphlet which is published in the ( fda ) web site, and actually I've found that it's contraindicated in any case except extensive vitiligo or disseminated idiopathic vitiligo ( when 50 % af the surface area of the body is affected ), on the other hand I've read in many forums that there're some people ( normal cases ) such as africans or people with dark skin who want to lighten their complexion are using it,,

    So I'm asking if anyone kindly give me any information about :

    1- It's toxicity on humans.

    2- Real cases that suffered from its toxicity or side effects.

    3- Any other toxic product that's been reported as being toxic.

    I'm sorry for any disturbance :(

    And I'm really grateful for you all, with all my best wishes :-)

    First I am sorry for some reason I don't believe this post, first if you do work for a research group then you will be doing tests on the products using experiements and chemical research to see what is in it, and its effects?

    Other undocumented cases are hearsay and would have no research value.

    With that said, sorry if I am wrong but all sorts of red flags starting waving when I read this post.

    U know, I felt very happy while reading your words, cause this mad me trust you and trust this site more and more...

    But the research that am supposed to do is not practical, you don't know more about the system of the academic study in my country, those who do complete researches are only the academic professors or the demonstrators, but it's my fault cause I didn't tell you that am from a developing country that has no more money to spend on the scientific researches..

    So I've asked you to give me theoretical information cause I'm doing a theoretical research.. and just tell the red flag to stop wavine:p ( am kidding :) )

    So am still waiting for your help, and any help from any member, and really thank you very much :)

    ANY DOCOTORS ON THIS SITE? ANYONE KNOW OF DOCTOR THAT WILL WRITE ME OUT A PERSCRIPTION?

    I have to agree. I read what you said about being from a developing country but this still seems a little "out there" to me. Sorry...
