I accidentally combined hydroquinone and benzoyl peroxide and left it on my face overnight. Now I have strange dark spots where I put it and am wondering how to get rid of it. Should I use the hydroquinone to get rid of it?

<p>At this point I don't feel that is the best idea, I feel it would be best for you to make a consultation appointment with a dermatologist in your local area before going ahead with any course of treatment. In the meantime I suggest you be sure to wear SPF on the areas that have become pigmented before any type of sun exposure. Best skin care wishes. </p><p>Meagan, Esthetician </p>
