Hi, I am an asian woman, from the Philippines. For years I had spent thousands $ on hydroquinone, Godiva, Dermaline, Stalder, and Glutathione pills. They didn't really work. I found this forum last month and have been Gluta-C which made my skin fairer for about a week, then it stopped working and it finished.

I had also bought monobenzone 20% which I have been applying for about four weeks, over a thin layer retin-A cream. It burns a lot but after 2 weeks I noticed a difference and so did some others. My face looks a few shade lighter already. My problem is I am starting to get white streaks on my neck, and my mother is concerned. She gave me a cream for ringworm, but I think it is from the monobenzone. I am applying the monobenzone, retin-A all over my face neck arms and hands. Only my face is lightening so far. Should I be concerned about the streaks on my neck? I'm also worried that I am applying evenly but my neck, arms and hands look darker. I don't want the white streaks to spread. I want the even lightening I am getting on my face. Why is this happening and what can I do to get the same effect as on my face, everywhere?

Have you talked to your doctor or dermatologist about this?

Time to speak to your dermatologist.

Mono is a depigmenting agent, not a lightener, it will give you streaks, patches until you become white, no matter what strength you get, you can't control this, some parts gets more than others. You have to seek medical help if it is not what you want.
Best of luck
