How can you get Benoquin cream, and do you need a prescription?

Yes, Benoquin (monobenzone) cream does require a prescription from a doctor. It's a depigmentation treatment used when vitiligo affects a large portion of the body, and the goal is to lighten the remaining pigmented skin to create a more uniform appearance.

If the doctors you've seen aren't familiar with Benoquin, consider these options:

- Ask for a referral to a dermatologist who specializes in vitiligo or pigmentation disorders
- Seek out a vitiligo specialist or academic medical center with experience in depigmentation therapy
- Request that your current dermatologist research the treatment or consult with colleagues who have prescribed it

Keep in mind that depigmentation with Benoquin is permanent and irreversible. Once you use it, the lightened areas will need lifelong sun protection. Your doctor should discuss whether this treatment is appropriate for your specific situation, as it's typically reserved for people with extensive vitiligo covering most of their body.

Don't give up on finding a knowledgeable provider. Sometimes it takes persistence to find a doctor experienced with less common vitiligo treatments.

Yes, I found many places abroad that sell Benzoquin, but the question is, is the cream allowed into America?

But I visited three doctors, and they all said they didn't know, and they told me I might be able to buy it from pharmacies or from abroad.
