I work construction and am exposed to the sun for hours. I don't have health insurance but im really worried about these spots.
Answer: Sunshine is the freckle maker! Sun exposure inevitably causes spots of varying degree. Since you are exposed daily, you should be sure to apply a waterproof sunscreen and reapply if you sweat it off during the day.

Answer: Ipl thank you for your question. IPL treatment treats red vessels, hyperpigmentation and it improves the texture of your skin by producing collagen and elastin. you will pepper after the treatment and the dark spots will appear darker before they flake off. do not be alarmed. This takes 2-4 days depending on your skin type and the intensity of the treatment.Always consult with a physician to make sure you are a good candidate

Answer: Age spots It definitely could be, and great photo! It is hard to exactly assess based off the photo. A physician needs an in person view to feel if there is any scaling or texture. If they are age spots which is mostly likely then I would recommend that if you haven't already start using a broad spectrum sun protection 30 SPF or greater and put it on about every 2 hours. Then when you have received the mist sun exposure I would recommend seeking out treatment within your budget for pigment laser such as Q switched Alex laser. However, seek out a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgen with training in lasers particularly pigmentation lasers.

Answer: Freckles and spots Freckles can be hereditary but with sun exposure they become darker and more numerous. Over time some can become larger and even premalignant. Treatment options include chemical peels, some lasers and, when worrisome, excision of specific lesions. Sunblock is helpful in protecting skin.

Answer: Best ways to treat age spots and hyperpigmentation Hyperpigmentation can ruin your skin and can be caused by either PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), melasma, age or sun spots, and chronic inflammation. Starting treatment is easy with topical creams; followed by laser and light therapy. I would use a combination skincare protocol that includes topical Melarase creams first, followed by a combination of light fractional laser, depigmenting lasers and IPL, vascular pulsed dye laser, and Covalent peels.
