How Do I Get Rid of the Brown Spots on My Face?

how do i get them off .

how do i get them to go away

My entire face is covered with these dark patches. They look like freckles all over my face but I did not used to have them. It is especially noticeable above my upper lip. It looks like a mustache!!! I did not got this until after I gave birth to my son. But it has not gone away and he is 2. What can I do?????

On checking the web, I have discovered that

hydroquinone may act as a carcinogen . Do you know of anyother better alternatives?

Did you know that Niacinamide is beneficial for reducing skin hyperpigmentation, eliminate acne, increase skin texture, moisture and more. Read the article:

Niacinamide research

Of all the products with Niacinamide, Niapads is the simplest and most effective.

One step process provides exfoliation, pore cleansing and prevention of acne.

Visit Niapads website for details. Available on Amazon and EBay. (Amazon for worldwide shipping).

I have had skin peels, used Retin A, and skin lighters, etc., and the brown discoloration remain on my cheeks and forehead.  They started when I used Estrogen (age 50).  My dermatologist told me this is a side affect of using estrogen.  I got off the estrogen; however, he said they wouldn't get any worse, but wouldn't go away and this is true.  I use 85 spf sunscreen/sunblock

and they still remain.  I use concealer and makeup to cover them, but feel self conscience often and feel people are looking at me.  The dermatologist also said this is Melasma and can be inherited which will make it even harder to remove.  My sister has something on her arms that look like what I have on my face.

Any new procedures for getting rid of this problem?

You are not going to believe this but I used wart remover and corn remover on my sun spots and it lightened them and one went away.  Now I use the removers on all my unwanted spots and bumps.

they all are "spots" for English-speaking people....and the word is not too bad.... for the French they refer to  "fleurs de cimetière", which is much less nicer, it means 'flowers of the cemetery'.... because the naughty spots appear at an elderly age... I am 57, blond, fair skin, blue eyes, I count some sun spots and I try to be rid of them by using twice a week Locadid (brand name) which is a Trétinoïne. My spots are getting lighter with every passing month, I am on my third month...

I forgot to tell you how I have been almost rid of my "30 brown sun spots" on my right hand : the have been burned out by my dermatologist with Nitrogen (azote), you keep a burn for some 48 hrs., then a scab on each spot for 8 to 10 days, then scabs go off, and my hand was almost as before. The treatment is cheap, no suffering at all, just a little burn, then you most spread SPF50 or more on your hand... to keep it spotless.

I thought the same thing could be done to my face, 'forbidden too dangerous', this is why I am on Locacid.

I have been doing some research lately and have found that most sunscreens are more harmful for your body than sun exposure. Apparently cancer rates have dramatically increased since people have increased their use of sunscreens. So, be careful what experts are suggesting for treatment of sunspots because their solutions could be worse than your current problem. Though it's not the most convenient I have been researching every ingredient in all the products I put on my body such as lotions, lip stuff, makeup, etc. I don't think the human body is designed to absorb the amount of chemicals the average person applies to their skin.

I've had this sun spot on my cheek for a few years but just recently in the last few weeks it has become raised and actually even got a scab on it.  Any idea why this is or what it could be?  Thanks!

There's a new product called Zunspot that apparently does a good job of treating sunspots.  They were giving away free samples on some of those freebie groups.  They sell it directly from their web site for $15.99 (free shipping, too). http://www.zunspot.com

Give it a shot.  Hope it works!

Age spots also called liver spots, and sun spots as well as freckles and moles are all an accumulation of melanin in the skin.

I have used Blemish Free for three years and its the only product that I have found that removes these blemishes. You can buy it from their website.

 Hydroquinone is a dangerous cream if it is used during day time because it will bring more brown spots to your face. It happened to me.Thanks, Maria Kanto-R  

Vitamin C scar treatments also work very well to decrease brown spots. I get brown spots on my face all the time, especially on my cheekbone area from acne. The acne spots go away but more often than not leave brown spots like dark freckles. I've also read that kojic acid and hydroquinone are not the safest options around but who really knows these days?

Following up on my earlier post about hydroquinone....

This is where I read about it being unsafe and other things that can give you dermatitis (like vitamin e if you believe it)Scar therapy safety
