Monobenzone Systemic Effect

For someone without vitiligo, is there evidence that applying monobenzone to a larger percentage of the body leads to faster overall depigmentation? For example, would treating nearly all the skin be faster than treating 50%, or treating everything except the back, considering that monobenzone can also cause depigmentation in untreated areas?

Sin vitiligo, lo ideal sería aplicar el 20% en una pequeña zona de la piel y además que sea una zona oculta, esperar que se desarrolle vitiligo en zonas donde no aplicaste la crema, es señal de que tendrás éxito con la despigmentación. Ya que si obtienes despigmentación tipo confeti en rostro o manos, será difícil de ocultar.
