Advice on removing pigments
Hello, I used to be very active in water sports. Sometimes, i would suntan often when i was in my 20s. Of course, i will apply suntan lotion (spf 15) that kind. Now, my face has freckles and 1 small pigment. Gosh. Anyone has any tips to remove or lighten the pigment without having to see doctor?
Re: Advice on removing pigments
Nope, the pigment is here to stay. Even lasers won't remove them 100% so save your money on lasers. Creams may lighten but won't help much as well. The only way is further prevention but slathering on more SPF every 3 hours outdoors would help worsening it.

Re: Advice on removing pigments
Most skin pigmentation is benign and can actually be removed surgically or using a laser. My mother had it done with a laser and it was very effective. On the other hand, the pigment may actually be melanoma, a skin cancer than can only be removed surgically. If you are worried that this may be the case for you, it is best to see a dermatologist to be sure.
