    Default Dots from sun or not?

    I often have little brown dots , more as i get older, more after the summer. I get that. However I wear spf on my face everyday of the year and never had brown dots on my face before. Last couple of months i can definitely see at least four or five more appearing... I was wondering if a change in Pill has done this. Can I reverse them? Prevent anymore. You cant see them with makeup but i like to go barefaced often and its worrying me now.
    Any ideas people?

    they are called age spots and are caused by the sun. Its probably not from recent damage, but from when you were younger. Just be sure to look out for any signs of skin cancer

    And I recently learned that SPF does not protect our skin from age spots. Some people claim you can fade them with topical creams, etc. but I've never seen any real improvement from anything other than skin bleaching. Thank goodness I drive mostly at night, they say that the majority of sun damage is done on your left side from driving.

    Yep i have them. And skin cancer.

    Those light (mine are very light) brown spots mainly on our arms are from the sun...damn if i could go back in time i would never have laid out in the sun slathered in baby oil.

    I do bleach mine at times...it works.

    The pill can cause skin pigmentation weirdness, at least some can. It's generally like the pigmentation pregnant women get. My friend's mom had this. Maybe talk to your gyno about a lower dose/different pill?

    How do you do this? Are you talking about hydroquinine cream, or something else? Or is it a treatment that you have to have professionally done?

    I just started using Ambi brand, for this. It contain that hydroquonine (sp.?) & spf 15, vit. e, etc. There was a recent article in Allure mag. rating a few of the products for this. It named this one as one of the top prods. You must wear uva/uvb sunblock protection. I do notice more of them on my left side, from driving. They named a couple meds that might cause 'em also.
