brown spots

I have brown spots on my forehead, nose, chin and upper lip. Of course, due to sun damage. You can't really see the nose and chin, but the upper lip makes me look like I have a mustache (or may just look that way to me)-the forehead is covered with my hair. I know it is all about prevention now, but what can I do to help them go away?

Re: brown spots

I get those brown spots too during sunny warm weather and in the same spots. My dermatologist does prescribe me a cream that bleaches it. He says it happens frequently to women in their 20s and 30s who take birth control.

Re: brown spots

well, started before I hit 30 and I turn 31 this year. I use depo though, don't know if that counts for bc. can you tell me the name of the cream? I may see if my physician might do the same-or suggest an OTC similar (is that allowed on here? Can't remember)

Re: brown spots

Mel- I am 31 as well, so that makes sense I am not sure if I can post the med or not but I'll try. My doctor gives me hydroquinone usp 4%. If you find anythign else that works well, please do let me know! I hate those brown patches!
