Hello sir. If you have exogenous oochronosis which often occurs due to application of hydroquinone, then it is advisable to use products which do not contain it. Demelan cream contains arbutin which is a form of naturally occuring hydroquinone. I would advise you to consult a certified dermatologist near your area and get the black spots checked. The cream is a nice one but don't use it unsupervised, better to get a consultation done.
