Thank you.
Avatar f tn Hi, Infrared technology through LASER technology has been used to treat skin conditions including age spots. Age spots however, are diagnosed based on a complete physical examination. How old are you? Age spots or liver spots as the name implies present as one ages.Thus,when one is younger the use of sunscreen on the face and other sun exposed parts of the body may be beneficial.
Avatar m tn I have attached a picture of the spots i have got. I keep on getting this new spots every day. What is this.
Avatar f tn This morning, I had quite a few age spots removed from my face and hands via Q-switched Yag Laser. The spots were quite red when done, but now the redness is fading and some of the spots on my hand seem to be darker than they were before. Is this typical for this type of treatment? I did quite a bit of research prior to having the procedure done and was told this was one of the most effective treatments to eliminate age spots.
Avatar n tn The only way to prevent age spots is to use liberal amounts of sunscreen before the age of forty, avoid the sun, and wear protective clothing. The newest treatment for age spots is an alpha hydroxy acid gel or beta hydroxy acid gel. Retin-A cream, alpha hydroxyacid peels, and liquid nitrogen therapy are other options. If still the symptoms do not improve then pls get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist as without examination,confirmation of a diagnosis is tough. I hope that helps.
Avatar f tn Is there a product on the market that can be purchased so that the white spots will even out with the rest of my skin? I also have a lot of age spots (brown spots) on my legs and arms; which I believe is also from the sun and tanning beds. Is there also a product for this available on the market?
Avatar f tn Hello, For such type of scarring, treatment includes various skin creams like azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream and laser treatment. If it still persists then you can go in for laser treatment, Chemical peeling or microdermabrasion. Avoid picking, harsh scrubbing, and abrasive treatments unless prescribed by a dermatologist during this period.

Avatar m tn Hello doctors and forum fans. For the past 6 months, I have been getting many little brown and beige dots and little spots (about 1mm - 3mm) all over my face, neck, arms, back and cheast. I also have a few on my legs and feet. I have very light fair skin. I'm 31 years old with very limited sun exposure. I'm getting a lot of of these new dots/spots on a weekly basis. Some of them look like moles and some look like age spots.
Avatar f tn Sun exposure is the more common culprit for cases of facial discolorations. These include freckles and age spots. They may appear as dark spots over the face and other sun exposed areas of the body. Another differential is melasma which usually occurs in pregnancy. Thus, your sex is important here and your age. Women may also present with darkish discolorations over the face as they age. This may not be something urgent but their presence may cause discomfort. Have you been pregnant before?

Avatar n tn Now I have noticed a few more spots. In all I have excatly 9 spots. But only on my arms and legs. These spots r white,small and properly round in shape. I went to another doc. And he has told I have vitiligo and has prescribed "elidel" and a corticosteroid "metaz". Now the name Vitiligo freaks me out. I am completely confused and depressed. Scared to go to another doc and get to know the name of a third disease. Is there anyone out there who can help me?
Avatar n tn I read your concern about your age spots. I'm a 50 yr old male (Pacific Islander decent) and also have spots on my face. Probably because I'm a police officer in the sun alot and fish ALOT on the weekends. I tried the 4% Hydroquion perscribed by my doctor for probably 6 months and saw NO change in my condition. He also tried the laser treatment that didnt' help. I was bummed...so now I went to another dermotologist and he prescribed Desonide .05%.
Avatar n tn Around 8 years ago I noticed that I was starting to get dark spots on the left side of my face most prominently near my mouth. Throughout the years these spots kept multiplying and getting darker and again this is only on one side of my face. My dermatologist told me this was an actual condition where hyper pigmentation occurs only on one side of the body. Note that I was only 12 years old when I stated noticing this.
Avatar m tn What TYPE of laser is most effective in removing these spots?! Is there anything new? Also, could vitamin K supplements help fade them? Thanks for answers.
Avatar n tn I have skin discoloration from bruise, insect bites,cut or burn after healing it leaves a spot that never goes away. I am 39 years and I have had this problem since I was teenager. I use bleaching creams for a period of two weeks or less as long there is no sign of improvement I discontinue.
Avatar f tn Hello, The treatment for such dark spots and hyperpigmentation includes various skin creams like hydroquinone, azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream and laser treatment.As you have a sensitive skin,so any of these is not recommended.Apply calamine lotion and aloe gel. If it still persists then you can go in for laser treatment, Chemical peeling or microdermabrasion. Avoid picking, harsh scrubbing, and abrasive treatments unless prescribed by a dermatologist during this period.
Avatar m tn They are non-infectious and a natural occurrence on the body. Treatment of Fordyce spots includes CO2 laser or electro desiccation, TCA chemical peels(temporary treatment),diathermy or laser vaporization. If they become painful or itchy then evaluation from a dermatologist is needed. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing and if you have any additional queries.
Avatar f tn You need to consult a dermatologist and get investigated mainly your blood count, platelet counts, blood clotting tests, bleeding time and a skin biopsy. Also skin biopsy will rule out other causes like liver spots or senile purpura. Now coming to the treatment part, it depends on the confirmation of diagnosis. Till that time, you can take foods rich in vitamin C especially the citrus fruits like oranges, papaya, grapefruit, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, and pineapple.
Avatar f tn It didnt help.. My condition got worse ., i got brown spots due to aggressive laser treatment since i have asian skin.. I got fed up.. And finally.. I found the solution.. Salicylic acid oinment is working.. Along with dat i m being treated with steroid injection on the piigmented spot directly., this injection really really works:):).. Plz every1 before going on for laser treatments ask ur doctor about steroid injection in the affected area... Diz works!!!!!im absolutely all r8 now..
Avatar m tn s_spot Vaporising laser treatments such as CO2 laser or electro desiccation have been used with some success in diminishing the appearance of this condition if they are of cosmetic concern. However, most doctors consider this a normal physiological phenomenon and advise against treatment. Sometimes a doctor will prescribe TCA chemical peels, although as soon as treatment is stopped Fordyce’s Condition will return. The condition can also be removed with laser vaporization.
Avatar f tn s a cream to clear away black spots. The black spots have been left after the pimples and I been trying to get rid of them. This Xtreme Brite cream is like a bleaching cream and now it's making my whole chin peeling and it's looks like my chin is bleached. Will my natural brown skin color come back? How long will it take for me to recover from this? Is this permanent? I'm worried and scared. It's horrible. Is there a different product I could use to even out skin? I need help.
