The months of summer are the time where people want to get into their inner wear and sit and bask their bodies with the rays. While some people with vitiligo might have face a serious sensitivity to sunlight on their skin. Vitiligo is an immune disorder problem that affects the skin. Though the disorder is not an infectious one but it is completely devoid of the pigment called melanin under the skin. The melanin is the color of the skin that is produced right under the epidermis and protects us from the harmful ultra violet radiations of the sun. Absence of melanin or melanocytes can make your skin terrible and sensitive to sun.

Vitiligo treatment was unknown just a few years back until the only option left was surgery by way of melanocytes transplant, UVA phototherapy etc. After when FDA approved Benoquin can be used safely for treatment for vitiligo on the discolored skin it became popular for its cheaper treatment method. The main ingredient that is the de pigmenting agent is the monobenzone with 20% strength in it. Vitiligo patients who were depressed over their pigmented skin spread across their body have a cheaper option handy and much preferable then going under the knives which often quite very expensive. This medication is a real monobenzone that has been held first in successful cases of vitiligo treatment.

When the Benoquin cream is massaged on the skin it works on the darker parts of the skin and de pigments and helps to achieve an even color on the skin. The skin looks terrible when the white patches appear on dark skin. The patch work on the skin disappears within 4-6 months once you start to regularly apply monobenzone cream. This product is very much safe to use but avoid prolonged exposure of your skin in the sun otherwise that can tan you skin. If you are going out in the sun don’t forget to keep a sunscreen with you.
