kay, i have HUNDREDS of black spots all over my face and body...they are not moles b/c they are flat...everyone calls them "freckles" but they are seriously dark-brown to black! i seem to get a new one every few weeks, mostly in areas that shouldn't be cut, i.e. the inside of my elbow. i am almost NEVER in the sun, and i have never tanned. my skin is almost pure white, so obviously scarring after a year or so will not be a problem...i have heard of full-body chemical peels ridding people of all but 1 or 2 *moles*, but i don't even know what the hell these are!! @_@;;
i have tried hardcore stuff like tooth bleach, hair bleach, and apple cider vinegar (mixed w/wheat flour)...also, lemon juice, horseradish&vinegar, freckle faders (many diff. brands), castor oil & baking soda...
it is a hassle doing so, because like i said they are EVERYWHERE. i wouldn't mind so much if they weren't all over my face...
my derm says my only hope is to get the facial ones cut out. i have heard horror stories about the scarring however...couldn't they just stitch em shut though?
or does anyone have a better idea? i am planning on getting them (the ones on my face) cut anyway on jan1 (new insurance policy lets me do it for $10)...but i wanted to see if there was a less damaging way that would actually work...
