How to remove sun (liver) spots?

455>I am 28 yrs old and have fair skin. I have never been one for tanning in my younger years %26amp; have never gotten sunburned. Everyday I use SPF 15, I wear a hat when going out %26amp; in general I avoid the sun like the plague.At a very young age I have been anti-age obsessed, unline the other girls my age who would tan. So you can imagine my shock when on my left cheek I developed a SUN SPOT! First, I can%26#039;t imagine how since as I said I take so many precautions. And 2nd, I want to get rid of it. I went to a dermatologist who confirmed it was a sun spot. She put me on Tretioin 0.25% cream. However, creams like Retin-A, hyrdroquinone tend to scare me.For one, I really don%26#039;t want chemicals on my face. Hydroquinone has cancer causing properties and is banned for use in Eurpoe. And Retin-A may actually WORSEN hyperpigmentation on spots and can reoccur once you stop using it.


What I am looking for is a NATURAL way that is effective in PERMANENTLY erasing this spot!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Go to a dermatologist they will take good care of you.
Reply:Vanishing cream... Do they still even make that? LOL, Im old!





Remember Porcelana anyone?





Seriously... go see your local dermatologist. Kinerase and skin ceuticals have excellent products out for that but you usually can only buy them locally from a Dr. even though they require no prescription.
Reply:You%26#039;re only 28 years old and you%26#039;re getting those? Eew. You probably have skin cancer or something. My grandfather get%26#039;s those and he has skin cancer.





*EDIT* RESPONSE TO ASKERS EDIT


Wow, you%26#039;ve got some serious anger issues there. I suggest you go to the hospital so they can check out that wicked premature skin cancer you got goin%26#039; on, and then duck into a psychiatrist%26#039;s office.
Reply:I think they can remove it w/ a laser, but im not sure.
Reply:Kojic Acid is also a newly discovered, successful treatment of age spots and other pigment problems. It is not an alpha hydroxy acid, but rather has the same mechanism of action as Hydroquinone. It is derived from a variety of different fungi and organic substances (such as soy and mushrooms). Research shows Kojic Acid to be an effective lightening agent that inhibits the production of melanin (brown pigment). Its low risk of oxidation creates a more stable product, resulting in a longer shelf life.
