I have had these dark spots on my chest, neck and forehead since I was younger. I believe they're birthmarks, but not entirely sure. They look similar to cafe-au-lait spots and are very splotchy. I also have something similar on my forehead but not sure if its related. Whenever I have extensive sun exposure, its usually the outer rims of my forehead that get darker. The spots on my forehead also have a weird leathery texture. Is there any way to remove this and to clear them?
I've been trying prescription 4% Hydroquinone and 0.05% retina a cream for 3 months on these freckles around my nipple. I only got this after unprotected sun bathing. It's only faded slightly. Will IPL treatment be faster and more effective?
I used to tan when I was a teen. Now I am 29 and my skin is sun damaged. I have a lot of moles, freckles and sun spots on my arms, chest, upper back and face. My main concern is my arms and chest. I would like to know the best treatment to remove theses moles and sunspots (laser, IPL, peeling) Also, since I would be treating a large skin area, I would like to know the cost of such a procedure. Is it safe to remove these moles and would it have an effect on my chances to get skin cancer?
