The topical application of monobenzone in animals increases the excretion of melanin from melanocytes. The same
action is thought to be responsible for the depigmenting effect of the drug in humans. Monobenzone may cause
destruction of melanocytes and permanent depigmentation.

The histology of the skin after depigmentation with topical monobenzone is the same as that seen in vitiligo; the
epidermis is normal except for the absence of identifiable melanocytes. Therefore, monobenzone is used as a topical
medicine to permanently depigment normal skin surrounding vitiliginous lesions only in patients with disseminated
(greater than 50 percent of body surface area) idiopathic vitiligo. Monobenzone is also being considered for the
treatment of Melanoma.

Monobenzone is also used to derive dyes for fiber dyeing and is used in the rubber industry.
