    Default Sun Spot/Liver Spot?

    I have a sun spot on my face Aside from a laser treatment what can I do? I'm on accutane so laser is out for now...but it's starting to bother me. Is this really from tanning? I'm only 24 and don't think I tan that much...someone help me

    try prevage. that's all I can think of since you take accutane, other than to stop tanning.

    Something Other Then Sun Spots/Liver Spots:

    Don't know what I had but it was not a liver spot. I had "something" small on my face that looked like a small mole but felt like a soft, smooth, slight crust. It did not look bad it just looked like a small mole. But I knew it was not part of me like a mole is. I knew it did not belong. It was an small invader. I waited and waited and waited (as I do) and it never went away.

    So after maybe 6 months I tried Apple Cider Vinegar. I just cleaned it once or twice a day with ACV and before I knew it, it was gone. I did not notice it getting much better, just a little bit better. After a few weeks or a month (?) it just wasn't on my face anymore.

    It's been 3 months now since it disappeared. What ever it was, it's gone now.

    Be careful with ACV, it is acid.

    I tried the apple cider vinegar yesterday.. It made the spots where I put it on my skin super bright red. It freaked me out cause I was about to go out, and I quickly googled, and found it would go away in 20 minutes.. but anyways, my friend told me she saw a plastic surgeon (I think) recommend it on a show called "the doctors" or something like that. Apparently there's a panel of doctors that discuss different procedures every day..

    I've been spending a lot of money at the derm on laser treatments, and even when they come off, they just come back in a couple months.. so I'm gonna try the ACV route for a month and see how it is. It's a lot easier on the wallet too..

    Yeah I saw it on "the doctors" show too. It was my first time watching the show and it has some really interesting and useful stuff on there.

    Not sure why your spots are coming back after doing laser treatments. Do you put SPF on your face religiously? And no tanning?

    Be careful with Apple Cider Vinegar. It is an acid.

    I edited by first post in this thread to make it clear that the mole-like invader I had was not a liver spot aka a sun spot.

    Liver spots effect the biology of the skin. I guess this means it effects the pigment. And that would mean it is a biological change not a condition or affliction.

    I don't think ACV will remove liver spots. It killed the invader on top of my skin. What I had was on top of my skin not a change to my skin.

    I see others above have said they saw a show about ACV or about skin spots. Did the doctors on that show actually say ACV was a viable treatment for removing liver spots?

    Please research the subject before using ACV on liver spots.

    A summary of what was said on The Doctors
    "What common household product can diminish age spots? Vinegar! An acetic acid, vinegar is a naturally-occurring, weak acid. “If you put vinegar in small amounts, regularly, on sun spots, you will actually get them to fade,” Dr. Ordon explains."

    He is legit Dr. A little background info on him
