What are age spots? Can you get rid of age spots? - Dr. Nischal K

Показать описание

Age spots are the spots on the face which look blackish brownish in colour. These spots are around 2 to 3 mm and rarely they grow larger in size. Commonly lentigenes are referred to as age spots. However in India we see lot of Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra which are nothing but small dark skin spots t he face commonly on the cheeks and sometimes even on the upper eyelids, neck or in the lower face. Sometimes these growths are also referred to as a age spots. So either it can be a pigmented small spots or a small tiny growth which commonly people refer to as age spots. The spots can be effectively treated with lasers so the laser go deep and they destroy the melanin. The small growths that we see in the skin can be treated by radiofrequency ablation. However both the conditions are more of an internal tendency and they come back again and again. So people get it removed 2 to 3 years once or 4 to 5 years once depending upon the tendency and another important treatment of age spots is UV protection. As we all know we are all exposed to a lot of UV rays. Nowadays it is not that that we expose d to natural UV rays but the artificial sources of UV rays. Our mobile screens, computer screens, LED lights everything emits UV light. Over a period of time the damage caused by this can be significant and hence it is very important that we use a sunscreen whether indoors or outdoors. By this we can definitely reduce the age spots and reduce damage cause d by the UV rays like the fine lines, open pores and wrinkles. So age spots can be effectively treated by lasers and sometimes the small growths that we see need radiofrequency ablation and you can prevent these spots by using regular sunscreens.

You are aware of those strips that are used for whitening teeth. You place them on your teeth for a given time. I cut tiny squares, licked them, ON THE PROPER SIDE, and placed them on the age spots. Age spots were gone after repeating this several times. That was about 7 years ago, and they have not returned. These were age spot located in the temple areas.

For those who could not understand his South Indian accent, here is a brief synopsis: UV rays damage the skin over time; we are exposed to UV rays not just from the sun but also from various electronic screens (he says all the screens produce some UV rays). The treatment he recommends is sunscreen.

Thanks, I have exactly what you described on my face, particularly around my eyes towards the top of the cheek area. But I also have these spots on my forearms that look the same as my face only these are dry, flaky. If I scrape them off, they return.

Good day Doc. I had a breakout some weeks ago, i got some products for it which also includes sunscreen, after applying for about 2 weeks i started noticing a lot of age spots growing on my face 😢. I am still not sure what caused it whether is the moisturiser or sunscreen that caused it

I wish someone would've told me that these were caused by the sun years ago, not only do I have to worry about skin cancer that runs in my family, I now have my back covered in these age spots from tanning nude.. How much dumber could I have been? Cancer could've ended the tanning if it weren't for my back constantly itching and making me look in the mirror I probably would've never seen these raised large big growth my Great grandmother had now growing on me.. I don't know if I can get insurance to cover the cost or not I'm hoping so because it's more for sleep and comfort because they keep me awake and wake me with the itching..
Stay out of the sun guys

Becareful all these drs are advertising
Age spots have to be treated from within the root course all these laser and creams are just temporary people we have to use our heads and think fed today are salesman just wanting to grow their ‘noble practice’😂

No uv from computer screens is measured, so you may not understand the physics of laser either. Please remove false statement

Would going for lazer treatment help avoid skin Cancer or instead would it increase the risk of skin Cancer? Seems to me that using sun screen would help people avoid skin Cancer no matter what their skin color is. Most of all if they are not up to date with getting that one kind of vaccination being offered when at the same time they are being pressured by parents to be looking around hoping to find someone to marry.
